    Plenty of fun events to choose from this weekend, including lots of long group rides and races. We’ve chosen a mix of popular events and some with a bit of a unique twist, but they include the option to put in a long effort.


    🥇🤝 Tour de Zwift Races (and Rides)

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Kit Unlock  ✅ Highly Competitive

    Tour de Zwift 2024 is in full flight, and lots of riders are showing up to each event. This weekend the “Epic” races continue. Choose from Stage 5’s race on Innsbruck’s Achterbahn (47.6km, 988m) or Stage 6 on Watopia’s Accelerate to Elevate (43.5km, 1157m).

    If you don’t want to race or are just looking for a shorter TdZ route, check out the TdZ group rides this weekend. Lots of options, since Stage 5 in Innsbruck wraps up on Saturday, with Stage 6 in Watopia beginning on Sunday.

    Multiple time slots all weekend

    🤝 DiRT Road DWGZ Hot Hundo (100 Miles)

    ✅ Endurance Event

    Many longer rides are done at a lower pace, but this ride features a spicy B pace if you so choose! Two paces to choose from: B (3.2-3.8 W/kg) or C (2.7-3.2 W/kg). Both groups are riding the same route: Tick Tock for 100 miles.

    Saturday, January 27 @ 2pm UTC/9am EST/3:17AM PST
    Sign up at zwift.com/events/view/4133957


    🥇 La Cyclo by Foudre & Chef de File

    ✅ Endurance Effort  ✅ Unique Event

    Looking for a long race? Take on 3 laps of Watopia’s Downtown Titans route for a total of 74km with 879m of elevation.

    This event doesn’t use categories, so all riders will begin together.

    Sunday, January 28 @ 8:45am UTC/3:45am EST/12:45AM PST

    🤝 Zwift Fondo Series: The Holidays

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Kit Unlock  ✅ Endurance Ride

    The last Fondos of the ZFondo 2023-24 series are here! Join Zwifters from around the world for a fun long ride around the roads of Watopia. There will be three categories so you can choose your ride length:

    • Triumph: Gran Fondo (1 lap: 97.7km/60.7 miles, 1148m/3,766′ elevation)
    • Rise: The Pretzel (1 lap: 72.7km/45.2 miles, 1333m/4,373′ elevation)

    🥇 Zwift Insider Epic Race on PRL Full

    ✅ Endurance Challenge  ✅ Jersey Unlock

    Our Epic Series has been building up to this: the final race, on the longest route in Zwift. This weekend’s events are races on London’s The PRL Full.

    Do you have what it takes to cover 173.8km with 2628m of climbing at race pace? One thing is for sure: it’s much more fun with riding companions, even if they’re your competition.

    How We Make Our Picks

    We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:

    • Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
    • Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
    • Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
    • Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
    • Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
    • Is it for a good cause?
    • Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
    • Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?

    In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
