November 15th Routes – Tour de Worlds
This weekend’s routes are hosted on Zwift’s four UCI Worlds maps. We’re running them in chronological order, from the oldest courses to the newest.
Note: we’ve pushed the races forward an hour, after a couple weeks of clock changes playing havoc on schedules.
| Race 1: Richmond’s 2015 UCI Worlds (7.727km, end at Broad Street sprint banner) Our first and flattest race is held in Richmond, Zwift’s first UCI Worlds route. Who can hold the power to the line for Sagan-esque glory? Powerup: Aero |
| Race 2: Innsbruckring (5.434km, ending atop Leg Snapper) Always a crowd favorite, Innsbruckring’s Leg Snapper is made even more dynamic when the race finishes at its top. Will you save your legs for that final effort, or try to sneak away early? Powerup: Feather |
| Race 3: Yorkshire’s Queen’s Highway (1 lap – 5.7km) A pitchy little loop, with a drawn-out final sprint that’s slightly uphill. This one is all about timing: modulating your power to efficiently maintain momentum on the short climbs, activating your powerup for maximum effectiveness… and where should you start your final sprint? Powerup: Draft Boost |
| Race 4: Scotland’s The Muckle Yin (6.005km, end at Breakaway Brae Reverse banner) This rolling route offers opportunities for early breakaways, but will anyone take them? Or will you save it all for the Brae? 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.
