🤝 BMTR Flat 100 (Miles)
✅ Popular Event ✅ Legacy Leaders ✅ Kit Unlock ✅ Endurance Challenge
One of our most commonly-featured events, for good reason. The BMTR Flat 100 consistently gets big turnouts because it offers multiple pace groups on flatter, distance-friendly routes.
This week riders are on Makuri Islands Wandering Flats route, with three different pacing options. Be sure to read the event description for details!

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!
