October 26th Routes: Getting Longer
This weekend’s routes feature progressively steeper finishing climbs.
We’ve also tweaked the Racing Score bands just a bit, to even out group sizes:
- Below 260
- 260-400
- 410-540
- 540-680
- 680+
Congrats to PERC Coffee prize winner Tiffany Lasher (Synergy), who won the free bag of beans for October 19th’s races. Email [email protected] to claim them!
Race 1: Flat Route (5.23km, ends at bridge after Fishing Village) Do you attack early on the ramp out of the ocean tunnel onto the dirt… or sit in and wait for the pack sprint finish? Powerup: none |
Race 2: Beach Island Loop (6.166km, ends at JWB Sprint) This will be a wild finish! Everything will kick off when we hit the Dirty Sorpressa snaking up to the Italian Villas. But you’ve got some cobbled road following the Sorpressa, plus the JWB Sprint! Where do you use your powerup? Where do you attack? Powerup: Draft Boost (1x) |
Race 3: Seaside Sprint (5.676km, ends at Volcano Circuit arch) This one is a bit of a roller coaster, starting on The Esses, down across the JWB sprint reverse, down the Dirty Sorpressa, then finishing inside the Volcano on one of Zwift’s most technical and challenging finishes. Lots of aero boost powerups will keep this fast and encourage attacks. Powerup: Aero Boost (2x) |
Race 4: Road to Sky (5.5km, ends well before first Alpe hairpin) A downhill jungle dirt lead-in followed by 400m of Alpe du Zwift climbing. Powerup: none |
What are the Tiny Races?
Our innovative Tiny Race format uses four short back-to-back races within one hour. Each race is usually 4-7km long, so expect a big VO2 workout!
You earn points based on your finishing position in each race. The overall win goes to whoever earns the most points across all four races.

FRESH TINY VIDS
ZwiftPower Results
Zwift displays the finish order in game when you cross the line, but points are computed after all four races are finished, with final results on ZwiftPower. (We have to do some data processing on our side to compute results, so if your rankings don’t show up right away, be patient.)
Riders earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week is the rider with the most points across their zone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each zone’s latest results on ZwiftPower:
Rules
Tiny Race rules are simple, but still every week ~10% of our racers get disqualified. Don’t let that be you! Four races, four rules:
- You must have a ZwiftPower account, because final results are processed by ZwiftPower (learn how to sign up)
- No skipping then returning. These races are meant to be raced as a set of 4. If you need to leave early, that’s fine… but once you miss a race in your hour’s set of 4, don’t come back and race another or you’ll be disqualified from that race since you rested while others were racing! (Example: racing only races 1 and 2 is fine. Racing 1, 2, and 4 is not – you will be DQ from race 4.)
- Heart rate monitors are required.
- Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required. ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed.
Join a Chat & Chill Cooldown
Immediately following each hour’s racing we’ve scheduled 30-minute “Chat & Chill” events where riders from all categories can spin their legs together and chat about how it all went down. Find them at zwift.com/events/tag/tinyraces.
