    Zwift is hosting lots of special events this weekend! We’ve got a crazy-long gravel race plus lots of new Watopia roads to ride, along with our usual crop of quality community rides and races. See our picks below…

    🥇 The Munga Zwift Grit Official Race (Unofficial Southern Africa Zwift Ultra Endurance championship)

    ✅ Endurance Challenge ✅ Unique Event

    Look, we’ll just say it: this event is crazy. 250km of racing on Watopia’s The Big Ring… on gravel bikes! This is the Zwift version of The Munga, one of the toughest IRL races in the world.

    Signup numbers are already strong (y’all are crazy) and categories are based on your UCI Age Category. Make sure you read the event details so you know which category to join.

    Saturday, June 15 at 4:05am UTC/12:05am EDT/9:05pm Friday PDT

    🥇 Zwift Women’s Racing Series

     ✅ Women Only

    Zwift’s popular Women’s Racing Series is in its seventh week, and Saturday is your last chance to finish week 7’s stage. It’s a points race on Makuri Islands’ The Muckle Yin. This is a complex route with lots of points segments, so you’ll want to study the route beforehand so you can maximize your points result!

    🤝 Community Rides On New Watopia Routes

    ✅ New Roads

    Zwift released a Watopia expansion this week, and has asked community event organizers to help launch the expansion by hosting rides and races on the new routes! There are lots of events planned on the new routes, and you can browse them all at the link below. Find one that fits your schedule and pace goals, and knock out that new route badge with some friends!

    🤝 Take on “The Grade” – ZZRC Hilly Happy Hour

    ✅ New Roads ✅ FTP Test

    One thing that makes this week’s Watopia expansion extra interesting is the inclusion of The Grade – a KOM segment that doubles as an FTP test! Want to take it on? There are several community rides this weekend on routes that include The Grade, but this ride from ZZRC seems like the one that may work best for most people. It’s on the new Peak Performance route, giving you a nice long warmup (23km of rolling terrain) before The Grade.

    Saturday, June 15 at 1pm UTC/9am EDT/6am PDT

    🤝 SZR Endurance Ride

    ✅ Endurance Challenge ✅ Legacy Leader

    Looking for a long social ride? SZR’s long-running Endurance Ride offers three different experiences that vary in length (100 to 161km), route, and pace. Choose the category that suits you best, then follow the ride leader’s instructions! You can even join the crew on Discord to pass the time with voice chat.

    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!
