May 1, 2020

LAST UPDATED June 4, 2020

Zwift has announced its first-ever “Tour for All”, a massive charity event to support Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in COVID-19 response.

This post includes details on all TfA stages, scheduling, pro racing, and more.

Stage Details

This is a 5-stage event. As with past tours, each stage can be completed in a variety of ways. There are group rides and runs with both long and short distance formats, and women-only group rides. Those with a competitive streak will be able to take part in bike races during each stage, choosing from two different length options.

About Categories

Categories (A, B, C, and D) are used in different ways for different events in the TfA series:

Group Rides and Runs: categories are used to organize these events into different distance groups, not different levels of fitness. So choose the category that matches the length you want, find a group going at your pace, and enjoy yourself! Additionally, for Group Rides, the C group is for women only.
Race Rides: categories are used to organize the events into both distance and ability groups. A and B categories are the longer distance, C and D are shorter distance. A and C are for riders in the 3.2-5 w/kg range, B and D are for riders below that range.

Supporting the Cause

Tour for All (TfA) is being held to raise funds for the COVID-19 Crisis Fund at MSF. Zwift is kicking things off with a massive $125,000 donation, and once 250,000 TfA rides or runs have been completed, they will donate another $125,000 – one dollar for every participant!

A Zwift x MSF donation page will be taken live before the tour kicks off, allowing Zwifters to make further donations if they desire.

About MSF

MSF is an international medical humanitarian organization delivering care to those most in need. Its team of over 43,000 doctors, nurses, and others assist people caught in crises around the world. MSF’s independent, neutral and impartial funding allows the organization access to patients in conflicts where others cannot go. It serves no agenda other than delivering quality medical care.

MSF teams are responding to COVID-19 on multiple fronts – caring for patients, offering health education and mental health support, and providing training for vital infection control measures in health facilities around the world.

As MSF scales up its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a key priority is to keep its more than 400 medical programs running for the tens of thousands of patients and extremely vulnerable communities they help support. This pandemic threatens the lives of people around the world, and presents even greater risks in countries with weak or fragile health systems.
