Zwift events headline our list of notable events this weekend, with the Big Spin, Zwift Games, and the zFondo series earning their spots for different reasons. We’ve also got two community race series to feature – one wrapping up with a banger of a long course, and another just starting, with age group-based categories!
🤝 Zwift Big Spin, Stage 2
✅ Popular ✅ Prizes ✅ MX Rider
Zwift’s annual Big Spin series launched this week, with stage 2 on Watopia’s Mayan San Remo route (21.3km, 219m). Join the fun and unlock fun stuff!

These are group rides, but you can treat them like a race, a recovery ride, or anything in between.

🥇Zwift Games, Stages 6a/6b
✅ Popular ✅ Route Badge ✅ Steering ✅ XP Bonus
The Zwift Games are wrapping up, with the final stage happening this week. Stage 6 is actually two different races – a time trial on Scotland’s new The Epiloch (11.1km, 93m), and a Crit Cade steering-required race on 5 laps of Crit City’s The Bell Lap (15.8km, 128m).

The Crit Cade events are particularly interesting to me, since they’re the largest field of steering Zwifters we’ve ever seen. I hear the races have been pretty wild!

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!
