September 13th Routes – Jarvis Returns
First, we’re returning to our 5-category system beginning this Saturday.
Second, this Saturday we’re going back to Zwift’s roots with 4 races that all finish in different ways on Jarvis Island.
| Race 1: The Classic (6.641km, ends at Jarvis KOM) Up from downtown, around the Volcano’s north side, then around Jarvis CCW. There’s a sting in the tail on this KOM finish! Powerup: Feather |
| Race 2: Waisted 8 (4.226, end at Jarvis Sprint Reverse) This week’s shortest and flattest route! Same lead-in as race 1, but this time we go the other direction on Jarvis and end with a flat sprint. Powerup: Aero Boost |
| Race 3: Triple Twist (6.185km, ends at Jarvis KOM Reverse) Going the other way around the Volcano this time, and up the Jarvis KOM in the other direction. Powerup: Draft Boost |
| Race 4: The Classic (8.181km, ends at Jarvis Sprint) We end old school, with (almost) a full lap of Jarvis. Up and over the KOM with a fast finish on the sprint. Will anyone break away early, or will it be a pack finish? Powerup: Aero Boost |
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.
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.
