First launched in 2017, Tour de Zwift is the biggest annual tour on the platform – a celebration of discovery across all Zwift worlds!
This year’s tour has just been announced. Beginning January 3, it consists of eight stages spread across all of Zwift’s maps. Each stage has two group run length options, so grab a friend and join the biggest party of the year! Here’s everything runners need to know about this year’s TdZ…
New This Year
Fresh Route Badges
Recently-launched Rebel Route badges will be available on stage 8:
- Spiral into the Volcano (ride only)
- Big Flat 8 (ride only)
- Castle Crit (run and ride)
TdZ will be the first chance anyone gets to unlock these three route badges, since they were formerly Rebel Routes.

Run Categories
TdZ events are group runs, not official races*. The category you join determines which route you will run:
- A: Long Run
- B: Standard Run
*Some runners will race the stages, while others will treat them as social events. Everyone is free to go as easy or push as hard as they’d like. Just have fun!
