🥇Queen of the Classics Race
✅ Popular ✅ Virtual Cobbles
Femme Cycle Collab is holding a special race on Sunday to celebrate International Women’s Day. It’s a race inspired by the legendary Paris-Roubaix—a professional race notorious for its brutal, mud-caked 19th-century cobblestones that demand extreme endurance, technical skill, and a bit of luck.
The race is on France’s Knights of the Roundabout, with riders categorized by Zwift Racing Score. A and B riders will race the full lap (54.4km, 359m) while C/D/E riders will race a shortened version (40.4km, 266m). All riders will start together.
There are two events – one just for women, and the other an open “Ally” event for all!

The ride is open-paced on Watopia’s Figure 8 Reverse route (29.9km, 254m), but there are three different length options: 50km, 40km, and 30km.

🥇Team Not Pogi – Ride the White Roads: Strade Bianche Challenge
✅ Same Time Starts ✅ Strade Bianchi
Strade Bianchi happens on Saturday, and Team Not Pogi have organized a race to go along with it!
Inspired by the iconic Strade Bianche, this race isn’t just about raw power—it’s about positioning, bike handling, and the mental toughness to conquer the “Sterrato.” Expect rolling hills, punchy climbs, and treacherous sectors of dirt and gravel. We’ve selected a route that mimics the relentless undulations of the Sienese countryside. Whether you’re a mountain goat or a powerhouse puncheur, this race will test every watt you’ve got.
The race is held on 3 laps of Makuri Islands’ Two Village Loop, for a total length of 38.6km with 264m of elevation gain.
Two timeslots Saturday, March 7

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!
