August 2nd Routes – W/kg vs W
This week we’re in a new world every race, and we’re also alternating between races that end with a short climb (all about the W/kg) and races that end in a flat sprint (all about the pure watts). Who will win on the day?
| Race 1: Richmond UCI Worlds (7.727km, ends at Broad Street sprint banner) The flattest race is held in Richmond, Zwift’s first UCI Worlds route. Who can hold the power to the line for Sagan-esque glory? Powerup: Aero Boost |
| Race 2: Everything Bagel (4.076km, ends at KOM banner) This one’s for the punchy climbers. Begin on NYC’s paved roads then quickly transition to the glass roads and attack the NYC KQOM Reverse. First person to the top wins! Powerup: Feather |
| Race 3: Bigger Loop (6.75km, ends at rock underpass heading into the Ghost Town) Ride into the desert from downtown Watopia, then pick up your ghost powerup at the rock arch and sprint for the custom finish line beneath the huge rocks as you enter the Ghost Town. Powerup: Ghost |
| Race 4: Island Hopper (7.35km, ends on bridge atop Mech Isle climb) We’ve put our longest race of the day last, just in case the D’s need a bit more time. This one ends at the bridge atop the Mech Isle Loop climb. Powerup: Steamroller |
What are the Tiny Races?
Our innovative Tiny Race format features 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.

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! Three simple 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.)
- 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.
