Today, Zwift launched a ten-workout challenge featuring new, 30-minute workouts for Zwifters “looking to make a big impact on their fitness in a minimal amount of time.“ The series runs from May 12 to July 5. Read on for details…
Challenge Requirements
The Challenge features ten workouts, and you can complete them in any order you’d like:
- Balance Point
- Ghost Pepper
- Burn Notice
- Spark Plug
- Silk Road
- Turn the Screw
- Aurora
- Pop Rocks
- Press Play
- Red Shift










Completing the Challenge
Everyone is automatically signed up for this challenge. As long as you’ve got version 1.113 or higher installed, and you’re within the challenge date window, you can ride the workouts above in any way you’d like and get credit for completion.
That said, I can’t find the workouts in Zwift’s workout library, so it looks like you’ll need to choose them from the Challenge card to complete them. (Clicking that challenge card also lets you see all the workouts and your reward details.)
Pro tip: Want to double up on bonus XP? Choose your workout from the Quickfire 30 challenge card, then pick one of the Route Chaser Challenge routes to ride. You’ll get credit for completing the workout and the route!
Challenge Rewards
You will earn an XP bonus for each workout you complete in the challenge, with a total of 2500 XP available:
- 1 workout: 250 XP
- 4 workouts: 500 XP
- 7 workouts: 750 XP
- 10 workouts: 1000 XP

Deadline
This challenge goes live at May 12, 2026 at 09:00 PT, and ends July 5, 2026 at 23:59 PT.
(I recommend finishing before the final day, though, as some past Challenges have ended earlier than expected, and you don’t want to be caught out if that happens.)
