GC Leaderboards
Zwift debuted new web-based leaderboards at zwift.com for tracking the Zwift Games 2025 GC, and an upgraded version of those leaderboards is now being put to work for use in the monthly ZRacing series!
Access May’s leaderboard at zwift.com/racing/leagues/zracingmay2025 >
Your GC ranking is based on your best finishing time for each stage, and you can race each stage more than once to try for a better time.
Choose Your Category
Zwift schedules three different flavors of ZRacing events in order to encourage “Fairer, more competitive racing for everyone.” They each use different racing score ranges for categorization and are titled Advanced, Range 1, and Range 2. Click banners below to see upcoming events for each:
Get the Badge
Each month’s ZRacing series has a unique achievement badge, which you can unlock by finishing every stage for the month. There are no makeup events, so if you miss a stage, you miss out on the badge and competing in the GC.
One and Done
Zwift has planned these events to deliver a solid 1-hour workout, so each race should only take around 1 hour to complete, including your warmup and cooldown.

Enjoying the racing, be nice if there was an easier way to find your GC Results, during and especially after the events have finished.. Putting them on the Companion app would be perfect like they did with the latest Zwift Games. The moment the games were finished, the link to the GC results on the Companion app vanished.. It’s still on the Zwift website but it’s a faff to find it.
Can you link to the Zwift location? I feel like I’ve passed every link on the Zwift site by now and no result (page) 😂😂
Seems like they forgot to set the event sign up this month & the results page is not live 🙁
Leaderboard page so called NOT FOUND .
Working for me.
It is now working Eric, but on the challenge page its showing 0/4 races done . Raced two times and 2nd race put me ranked top 50 200-300 top 5 U.S.
Early event (Monday 5/5) Makuri May results are not being included in the overall GC leaderboard as of Wednesday 5/7.
Do we know what type of races June will bring yet?
Nope. Zwift doesn’t typically announce these until the week prior.
Is it still worth doing the races if you miss a stage?
Depends. What makes a race worth doing, in your book?
Haha good question. I just meant if you can’t complete the GC, are there benefits to doing ZRacing events over other races?
Not particularly. I generally do them because they have the most riders at the times I race. And I don’t pay attention to the GC…
I missed stage 2 😐 Is it possible to repeat stage 2 at the end?
Nope. ZRacing never has makeups, but every month somebody asks! 😄
Aww too that’s bad 😅 I swear I tried to look online before asking here but haven’t seen it anywhere. Thanks Eric!
Are the bikes neutralized in these like zwift games?
They are not. Upgrades matter.
Thanks!!
Is there a make-up week for missed stages? I missed Stage 1.
Thanks!

Never mind. Found the answer in a response to an older post asking the same thing. Race on!
