Maurten Fueling

Zwift has partnered with Maurten for this challenge, and they’ll be sharing fueling tips to ensure you prepare properly for your long efforts and tackle recovery like a pro. Maurten is also offering all Zwifters access to the beta version of the Maurten Fuel Planner, where you can enter your ride or run and receive an ideal fueling recommendation.

Getting Started

A few important notes as you start the challenge:

• If you are an active Zwift subscriber, you are automatically enrolled in the challenge.
• Connect your Garmin, Wahoo, or Hammerhead account to Zwift so your outdoor activities count toward the challenge.
  • You can do this via the Companion app under Settings>Connections, or by logging into your account at zwift.com and going to Account>Connections.
  • If you’re not seeing your progress, try unlinking and relinking your Garmin, Wahoo, or Hammerhead account. You won’t lose any data by doing so.
• Make sure you’re on the latest version of Zwift (v1.116). Zwift says, “If you are not on the latest game version, you may see the tracker in Zwift Companion, but no progress will be made towards the challenge until the game version is updated.”
• You can track your progress on the Zwift homescreen (in riding mode, not running) or in the Companion app.
