Watch Party Rides
These “second screen” rides start at the same time as the live race broadcasts, so the idea is to ride with fellow Zwifters while watching the race on another screen. Chat about race highlights with Zwift friends in real time, in rides led by pros and ambassadors and women’s cycling fans!

These are open-paced 60-minute events, and each stage is held on a different route. Finishers unlock the new 2025 Watch the Femmes Kit.
