This weekend we’re featuring lots of races, including a 9-day tour kickoff as our headliner! The most popular event on our list, though, isn’t a race at all – it’s Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4. See all the details below…

🥇 Longhorn Rhino Race
✅ Long Race ✅ KISS 100 Reboot
After the cancellation of the long-running KISS 100 race, Rhino Racing has stepped in to host a new race using the same format and time slot. Nice!
This event uses staggered starts with all categories visible, so you can start in your proper category, and if you find that’s too much, drop to the group behind.
This week’s race is 4 laps (98.6km, 785m) on Makuri Islands’ Turf N Surf route.

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!
