This weekend we’ve chosen two one-off race events as our top features. Additional picks include Pride On events, an extra-long group ride, and a banded ride up Alpe du Zwift. Ride on!
🤝 TRIBE RC Epic Chase Race
✅ Unique Event ✅ Popular
This is the first officially organized Chase Race from YouTube personality Ryan Condon, and it’s got more signups than any other event this weekend!
Chase Races are a unique experience, since you need to work together… until you don’t. Groups are released in order, starting with the slowest, then the packs work together to catch riders ahead without being caught by riders behind. Riders are grouped by FTP for this event, and they will take on The Big Ring (34.5km, 181m).

This one-time special race event is being held on 4 laps of New York’s Park Perimeter Reverse (39.2km, 504m), and it’s a mass start event with results separated by racing score band.

🤝 The BMTR Fundo
✅ Popular Ride ✅ Legacy Leader ✅ Endurance Challenge ✅ Kit Unlock
A regularly-featured event here on Zwift Insider, the BMTR Fundo consistently gets lots of joiners because it’s well-led and run consistently week after week, year after year.
This week’s ride is on Waisted 8. You have four distance groups to choose from, all the way up to 100 miles. Doubledraft is enabled to help the pack stay together.

🤝 Phoenix Rising Tronathon (Banded) on Road to Sky
✅ Route Badge ✅ Beginner Friendly ✅ Keep Together
If you have yet to climb Alpe du Zwift, consider this event for your first attempt. This is a banded ride, so as long as you keep pedaling, you’ll stay in the pack, no matter how hard you push.

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!
