October 31st Routes – The Wild Isles
This weekend celebrates Watopia’s Wild Isles expansion with new roads and routes! We’ll cover nearly every bit of new road, starting in the Caldera area and working our way down to Avalon.
| Race 1: Caldera Coaster (1 lap, 5.9km) We begin our day with a lap of the new Caldera Coaster crit circuit. This is the flatter of the two new circuits. Powerup: Draft |
| Race 3: The Watopia 150! (6.838km, ends at Lightning Lap arch) Don’t worry, we aren’t doing 30 Lightning Laps. Just one! This race is pan flat, with exactly 0 meters of elevation gain. Powerup: Aero |
| Race 3: Seafoam Circuit (1 lap, 4.1km) Next, we head to the second crit circuit in the Wild Isles expansion. This one has a bit more climb to it, although it’s still quite flat. Powerup: Draft |
| Race 4: Laps, Camera, Traction (6.6km, ends near Jungle intersection) Starting once again from the Seafoam start pens, we head toward the town of Avalon and up to the Jungle to finish our tour of the Wild Isles expansion. Powerup: Feather |
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!
A single powerup is given as you start each race, and 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.
Enjoy the Cooldown
Immediately following each final race, you’ll be taken into a 10-minute cooldown where you can chat with fellow racers and spin out those legs.
