    adidas x Parley Run for the Oceans 2022 Announced

    Back for another year, Zwift in partnership with adidas and the Parley Ocean School are helping reduce the amount of plastic waste that makes it into one of our key ecosystems – the oceans.

    The Mission for runners is now open for registration and runs from May 23-June 8. For every 10 minutes you run, adidas and Parley’s “global cleanup network” will remove the equivalent weight of one plastic bottle (up to 500,000 pounds) from beaches, islands, and coastal communities.

    This event also has a “Community Unlock”, which is a really cool idea we haven’t seen before on Zwift. Read below for details!

    Getting Registered

    In order for your miles to be registered with adidas, you have to link your Zwift run account to the adidas Running app. So before you start, follow these steps to ensure your Zwift run activities count towards the fight to end plastic waste: 

    1. Download the adidas Running app and create an account.
    2. Register for the RFTO mission in the adidas Running app
    3. Register for the RFTO mission in Zwift 
    4. Connect Zwift and adidas Running app in 3rd party connections.
    5. Run 20km between May 23-June 8 to complete the mission.

    Schedule and New Routes!

    Once you’re registered, any Zwift runs you do will count toward your mileage goals. But there are special RFTO activities taking place at multiple times each day for the duration of the mission, and all these RFTO activities take place on two new Watopia Run Only routes!

    • Surfin’ Safari: 10km
    • Splash and Dash: 6.2km

    Unlocks with a Community Flair

    Run 20km to complete the Mission and unlock sweet in-game gear! Unlocks are progressive:

    • 25% adidas socks
    • 50% adidas Hat
    • 75% adidas RFTO Shorts
    • 100% adidas RFTO shirt
    • 100% Community unlock: this is a fun one! When the Zwift community logs 50,000km, everyone participating will receive adidas Ultraboost 22 shoes in game. According to Zwift, “All registered runners will get notified via email when the community hits each distance milestone.”

     “Inspiring and empowering the next generation of Ocean Guardians” is the mission of the Parley Ocean School. Piloted in the Maldives in 2015, it has since expanded around the globe. To find out more, visit their website.

      Excited about this one! Looks like the events with the new routes are all Group Runs, so should mean some good turnout while still letting the speed demons up front race a bit. I do wonder how the tracking of the community unlock will work. Not that I could personally make much of a difference, but I’ll happily put in an extra 20-30k if I see we’re getting close. Side note: It’s about time we get some normal-looking branded running kit in the game! Much as I like to blind people with my bright pink shirt and purple short-shorts, having… Read more »

      Love the kit and community unlock idea.
      Saw the two new routes and got
      my hopes up, thinking there were new run roads or paths… only to realize it’s another “repurpose existing roads and call it a new name.” 🙁

      Thank you so much! I saw the two new route badges, and was wondering where the heck to get these. Signed up for this challenge; looks like a lot of fun!

      Too late to see this!
      is there any other way that could unlock the two new badges?
