Next week, Zwift is mixing up their typical monthly ZRacing model by holding a week-long series of races on fresh New York routes. Each race is scheduled for just 2 days, but everything else is what we know and love about ZRacing… fast, hard races, with an overall time-based GC competition for the three races.

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.
Category Options
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.
