Printable List of Zwift Routes by Difficulty

As of January 13, 2026, there are 239 routes on Zwift that award a route completion badge. A few of these are event-only routes, but the vast majority are free-ridable.

Related: All About Route Achievement Badges for Cyclists and Runners On Zwift

We had many requests for a more printable version of our Master Routes List, specifically for riders looking to get all the route badges. So we created a printable list of badged routes, sorted by difficulty.

This printable list is current through January 13, 2026. You can find an always-up-to-date live list of badged routes here.

Routes are organized into 5 groups based on difficulty described as the number of water bottles (bidons) you may need to finish the route, assuming 1 Bidon per 40 minutes of riding at 2 W/kg.

  • 1 Bidon: 97 routes
  • 2 Bidon: 84 routes
  • 3 Bidon: 39 routes
  • 4 Bidon: 11 routes
  • 5+ Bidons: 8 routes

Eric, the printable list is showing asterisks for a whole bunch of routes that are not event-only; many of those seem to be level-restricted because of where they go, but they are being tagged the same as the event-only ones.

Can you put the link to this list under the tab Reference > Routes & Maps?

Thanks, maybe it’s also worth mentioning that clicking on the name of the route in the list links you to the details just like with the master list?

Hello,
I updated my Numbers file.
Why is Repack Rush not on the list ?

Repack Rush is event only, isn’t? That might be the reason.

It isn’t. The fact is that you must have a steering device paired to see and access it.

Thanks so much Eric. Really useful for me to tick off the rides the old fashioned way by hand with pen and paper ;-).

Any chance there can be the same type of printable list for the Climb Portal routes?

Hmm … is the Zwift Games epic worthy of being added to “the Big 5”? … maybe to race on but I’m dreading it much less than I am “Power to the Tower!”

That seems very fair. I’d forgotten about Quatch Quest (or rather, blotted the experience from my mind), I think that’s definitely worthy of being part of a Big 6!

Thank you also for the link to the route pages from the spreadsheet. Very helpful!

It’s a great list but the new Watopia expansion means it
has to be updated. The new Watopia routes are all event only. Any idea why they do that?

Any chance the next update could include columns for the estimated route times at 2, 3, and 4 W/kg? Those numbers are very useful for helping me decide if I have enough time to finish a route before I get started. Great list, thanks for putting it out there!

I think the list can be updated. I just counted 183 possible route badges in Zwift, including event-only routes. December 22, 2024.

Hi Eric, can’t tell you enough how great these time estimates are, For me they’ve been spot on, time-wise. I’ve mostly done longer climbing routes, at least 90 minutes long, and targeted 2.0 w/kg. My weight is 69 kg and I usually don’t warm up for the rides, so it may take half the ride to get to an overall 2.0 average, especially if they are flat at the beginning. I typically finish at a higher avg w/kg than 2.0 but end up completing the ride within just a few minutes of your estimates. Something you might consider is to add three columns to the chart, for time estimates at 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 w/kg, and rotate it. That way we’d have a single reference to help decide what ride to do within the time window we have to work with (not all of us are retired yet).

I noticed that The Magnificent 8 wasn’t on the list. Shouldn’t it be on this list?

Also London Uprising route as well? I know they’re both event only, but it seems they should be on this list as other event only routes are as well.

love this list, but going a little bit crazy… The badge list in Zwift shows 187 cycling route badges. Unless i have a weird calculation error (which is possible!) I also see 187 routes on this list. HOWEVER, The Magnificent 8 seems to be missing from this list, but is present in the list of badges in Zwift. So is there another on that I’m missing?

Having done all the routes before and am using the training plans I want, this “challenge is exactly what I need to keep the motivation going. Thank you SO much for the time and effort you have put into this 🙏🏼
I know I’m not going to be able to complete it in 12 weeks due to time constraints but there’s a target to go for and I’m already a third of the way through page 3.
is there any way that you’d be willing to produce this list as a downloadable .csv or .xlsx format? I don’t have the functionality to be able to modify .pdf files so I’m unable to update the list myself every time new routes are released. With the initial spreadsheet, all of your followers would then be able to do their own updates and take the onus off you to do it for us.

Hi Eric, it would be amazing to have each route name on this list link directly to its description in ZI. So for example, clicking on the first entry on the list, Macaron*, would open https://zwiftinsider.com/route/macaron. They look like they are clickable, but at least on my Mac they are not. Thanks!

When I print, there are no route names. The route name box is completely blank. In the printable pdf, the text is blue and not black

The site and all the info is amazing. Also nice to see to community pitching in sometimes. I found Exell spread sheet of all the routes.
I Wonder if there is a spreadsheet with the data of the estimated time of the course.
If I open the course with all the details the data is there at 2w/kg, 3w/kg, 4w/kg.

It would be nice to sort all the routes (for example) at 2w/kg so you can choose a route that fits you’re time gap at that moment (without always riding the same course just because you know from experience how long it takes).

Several of those are likely being saved for some future event and are not ridable yet because there’s not been allowed to be events on them yet. (eg kaze kicker)

I used an earlier version of this list several years ago to check off all the then available routes. I think this list helped me stick around. Maybe this will help some new people stick around longer.

Hi, thank you for the table. I have one question: would it be possible to receive it as an Excel file as well? If so, it could be sorted individually, either by distance or by elevation gain, which would make it more visual and more user-friendly.

It will not print the route names as they are hyperlinks

Is this list, by any chance, available as an Excel file? It would be nice to have something I can sort by other criteria like length or elevation (or both). As an Excel file it would also be easy to add average grade or elevation gain per km or XP. I could sort in several ways to pick my personal “route of the day.”
