Zwift has just announced this year’s Off the MAAP series, a multi-stage cycling tour returning for its sixth year on the platform. With hourly events around the clock, this is the next big tour on the heels of Brompton Worlds.
Held in collaboration with the Melbourne-born MAAP, this series has historically proven very popular among Zwifters, with hundreds of thousands participating over the years thanks to a fun mix of courses and kit unlocks!

Is this a race?
Not officially – Off the MAAP events are set up as group rides and won’t count toward ZwiftPower ranking points, Zwift Racing Score, etc. That said, cyclists know it only takes two riders on the same route to make a race!
Many riders will be racing these events, and if you want to go hard you are free to do so, just as you’re free to ride at whatever pace you’d like.

Love the Off the MAAP series. I’ve got all the kits going back to 2021 and still use the brown socks pretty much all the time.
Anyone else keep getting an error message when trying to enter the prize drawing? I keep getting “Please check your input and try again later.” at the bottom.
You need to finish the 3 stage before you can enter the draw. 2nd stage not even out yet…
Well that makes more sense, haha. Thanks.
I finished, got the email, and used the link inside it but I’m still getting this error message. Anyone else have it or figure out what to do about it?
I missed the 2022 Off the MAAP series but want the pink kit. Is there any other way of getting the kit?
Not that I know of. These are pretty exclusive, one-off events.
Is the event ivin extra drops saw blue5000 at the top
Is this event only or can i ride these on demand when I can?
Event only.
Is it possible to follow a Workout plan with ERG mode during the routes?
Only in a hacky way. If you don’t pair your trainer as “Resistance” in Zwift, then connect it to your bike’s head unit and run the ERG workout there… it could happen.
Is it possible to late join if I’m 10 minutes late to start?
Nope. Looks like late join is not enabled for these events.
Can I still ride stage 1? (December 3rd)
Make up week is Dec 15-21… it’ll be available then.
Ca i Ride on the 21 or is it closed at 21.12 / 00:00?
