Tomorrow a Rapha-powered race series launches on the biggest climbs in Zwift. Three races in three days, with 9603′ (2926 meters) of elevation gain. Are you up for it?
Along the way you’ll unlock the new Rapha Rising kit. There’s also GC competition on ZwiftPower, and a prize giveaway too. This series ticks all the boxes… which is why over 2500 riders have signed up for the first event (tomorrow)!
Categories, General Classification, and More
These events use the standard ZwiftPower categories based on rider FTP:
- A: 4+ w/kg
- B: 3.2 w/kg
- C: 2.5 w/kg
- D: below 2.5 w/kg
There is also an “E” category for women only.
These are doubledraft events with staggered starts, so categories will not be mixing.
A General Classification has been set up on ZwiftPower to rank riders across all three stages. Riders who are registered on ZwiftPower will be listed in the overall GC for the series.
