May 10th Routes – “The Grade” Expansion Routes
This week we’re taking on four newer Tiny Race courses, using some of the Watopia routes released with The Grade expansion.
| Race 1: Tides and Temples (7.452km, ends at Woodland Sprint) Turn right from the pens and hit the southern coast road. Grab a powerup through the Sasquatch Sprint, then fly downhill into the Woodland Sprint finish! Powerup: Aero 1x |
| Race 2: Elevation Evaluation (6.082km, ends on The Grade) Take a right from the pens, ride over to the Sasquatch Sprint, then loop around and come back. We end just a hundred meters or so up The Grade climb. Powerup: Feather 1x |
| Race 3: Coastal Crown Loop (5.652km, ends at Stoneway Sprint) Take a left out of the pens and hit the Acropolis Sprint for a powerup, then finish at the Stoneway Sprint. Powerup: Draft Boost 1x |
| Race 4: Oh Hill No (1.2km, ends partway up The Grade) You knew it was coming. This race is nothing but pure climbing! Powerup: none |
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.
