    All About Tour de Zwift January 3-31

    Zwift has just announced the Tour De Zwift, and it’s their most ambitious tour to date. With 9 stages across all 5 worlds spanning the entire month of January, this series of events is designed as a “celebration of Zwift and the worlds within.”

    Here is Matt Stephens giving us a proper intro to this epic event:

    Course details, rules, and registration are at https://www.zwift.com/tdz

    Is This a Race?

    Zwift’s official line for these tours is something like this: “It’s a personal challenge against the clock. Some participants will ride the event like a race, but there is no podium at the end. It’s all about getting on the bike, pushing yourself, and completing all the stages.”

    With that said… many people treat each stage like a race. And the finishing order will be listed on ZwiftPower, so…

    Tour De Zwift Kit

    Zwifters who finish all 9 stages will unlock the official Tour De Zwift kit. As with past tours, completing the event is the only way to unlock the kit.

    Can’t make one or more stage dates? Keep in mind there will be two makeup days scheduled after the final stage–see “Makeup Dates” below. 

    Groups

    Each stage has two or three groups:

    • A Group: longest distance. Men and women can join this group.
    • B Group: shorter distance than the A. Men and women can join this group.
    • C Group: for women only. Distance is usually the same or slightly longer than the B group

    Stage Details

    To make sure everyone can fit each stage into their schedule, each stage lasts two days and has events repeating every two hours. On the first day they start every two hours on odd numbered hours, the next day they start on even numbered hours. This way over two days each stage will have taken place every hour.
