Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This is figure 8 route which stays on the ground-level roads of the lower and middle Central Park loops. It avoids the upper loop (and thus Harlem Hill), giving this route a rolling profile with no substantial climbs. The lower ground-level loop includes a sprint section, making this route ideal for events which include sprint efforts.
For the Strava segment, you spawn on the wrong side of the start/finish banner. So you have to do a U-turn to go to the banner and then U-turn again to get credit for the Strava segment on your first lap around the course. Zwift gives you credit for the route badge without doing the U-turns.
