🥇 Turbo Ten p/b HPRT
✅ New Race ✅ 10x ✅ James Bailey
Join the fourth running of a wild new race concept from the mind of Zwift events whisperer James Bailey: TEN back-to-back races, lasting a total of ~1 hour and 55 minutes. Riders are categorized using compound score, everyone starts together, but you’ll be able to tell who you’re racing against by the letter on their jersey.

🥇Tiny Races – Variations on a Loop
✅ Unique ✅ 12-Race GC ✅ Popular
This week, all four Tinies are on Watopia’s Two Bridges Loop, but each race is longer than the one before, beginning with a short race to the JWB Sprint Reverse line and ending with a full loop of the route! Each race’s finish varies from the others, and you get one aero powerup each race.

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!
