Tiny Race Series – October 28 Routes and Last Week’s Results

Our popular Tiny Races happen every Saturday, and they’re all about getting a hard, fun work done in 1 hour. You race all 4 races back-to-back, with each lasting just 5-10 minutes, giving you a short break in between.

Check out 12 year old Alexander from team WattFabrik, taking on the first three Tiny Races as a D:

This Week’s Routes: Anvil Crits

Each race this week is held on one of Zwift’s short crit loops, and the only powerup being given out is the Anvil. Four races in four different maps, starting with the most punchy and getting flatter as we go!

• Race 1: Glasgow Crit Circuit (2 laps, 6km)
  Kick things off in Scotland! Brace yourself for big attacks on The Clyde Kicker, dial in your anvil timing on the descents, and make sure you time that final sprint just right.
  • Powerup: Anvil (4x)
• Race 2: Volcano Circuit CCW (4.84km, lead-in only)
  Most of this course is flattish, but the finish is one of the most technical in Zwift. First you have the longish ramp that saps your legs and encourages early attacks…then there’s still a few hundred meters of twisting, slightly uphill road. Good legs will keep you in contention, but timing will get you the win!
  • Powerup: (Anvil 1x)
• Race 3: Downtown Dolphin (3 laps, 5.7km)
  Racers know this route well. The question is: who will go long, and can they stay away?
  • Powerup: (Anvil 2x)
• Race 4: LaGuardia Loop (2 laps, 7.2km)
  A quick lead-in, then 2 hot laps in Central Park. The longest race of the day will still be fast!
  • Powerup: Anvil (3x)

ZwiftPower Results

Zwift displays preliminary race results 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 will earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week’s series is the rider with the most points across their timezone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each timezone’s results on ZwiftPower:

• Zone 1 (9am GMT/5am EDT/2am PDT)
• Zone 2 (3pm GMT/11am EST/8am PDT)
• Zone 3 (9pm GMT/5pm EDT/2pm PDT/Sunday 7am AEST)

Rules

Tiny Race rules are simple, but still every week 6-8% of registered ZwiftPower racers get disqualified and removed from the final results. 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. And if you race 2, 3, and 4, you’ll be DQ from all those races, since you skipped race 1!)
• 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.
