October 24th Routes – Tour of Double XP
Once again this week, we’re featuring Tour of Watopia routes, meaning you’ll get double XP as you race. It’s a nice mix of flat, punchy, and climby routes. Enjoy!
| Race 1: Sand and Sequoias (6.17km, blind finish exiting twisty tunnel after oasis) We begin our day with a flat and fast race through Fuego Flats, ending with a bit of a “blind finish” as you exit the twisty tunnel leading from the Oasis. Powerup: Draft Boost |
| Race 3: Beach Island Loop (6.166km, ends at JWB Sprint) This will be a painful finish! Everything will kick off when we hit the Dirty Sorpressa snaking up to the Italian Villas. But wait – you’ve got some cobbled road following the Sorpressa, plus the JWB Sprint! Where do you use your powerup? When do you go all in? Powerup: Steamroller |
| Race 3: Coastal Crown Loop (7km, flatter, ends on Mayan Mountainside) This is a very flat race, with a short climb to finish. Who’s going to win the pack sprint? Powerup: Aero |
| Race 4: Jarvis Seaside Sprint (7.585km, ends at Jarvis KOM arch) Our longest and last race of the day ends with a hard push up the Jarvis KOM Reverse. Finish at the ride-through tree, then enjoy the descent and your double XP. Nice work! 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.
