On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 2 laps of Innsbruckring…
This festive season is not just about family and feasting…. with GTR’s (Good Time Riders) 12 Races of Christmas series, it’s also about having some fast and furious racing fun during the holidays!
About the Series
Running from 26 December through to 6 January, the race series is loosely themed on the “12 days of Christmas” carol.
With routes ranging from 10-25km, it’s been designed to give racers something to get their teeth into whilst acknowledging it’s a busy time of year. While there we 12 races, the series rankings will be based on your best 9 results according to the points structure listed on ZwiftPower, with individual and team leaderboards available. So, if family, work, or social engagements crop up, you don’t have to worry about missing a day or two.
Race Times and Basic Rules
Three times are available for each race:
- 12:30pm UTC/7:30am ET/4:30am PT
- 6:30pm UTC/1:30pm ET/10:30am PT
- 12:30am UTC/7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT
Entry into any of the race times will count as your result for the day. Races are mass start, but five categories are available, split by Zwift Racing Score. A ZwiftPower account and heart rate monitor will be required to appear on the leaderboard.
And best of all, there’s no complicated rules around the races – just a straight scratch race to the finish.
