    Zwift has just announced its next major event series – the crowd favorite, double XP-featuring Tour of Watopia!

    The 5-stage tour begins March 29 and runs through April 22. And yes – Zwifters earn double XP in all ToW events. With lots of ToW events happening, you can bet Zwifters will be putting in the work to earn points and level up. Because everyone wants that S-Works Venge with 858/Super9 wheels…

    There’s also a double kit unlock! More on that below.

    Registration

    Registration is now open at zwift.com/tour-of-watopia/, although ToW events are not yet on the calendar.

    Note: registering really just sets you up to get some email reminders of upcoming stages – you will still need to sign up for specific events in order to ride or run the ToW.

    Double XP

    Typically riders are awarded 20XP per kilometer or 30XP per mile, depending on whether you have units set to metric or imperial. In ToW events, riders receive 40XP per kilometer/60XP per mile.

    Runners typically receive 10XP per .25km or 15XP per .25 mile. You will receive 20XP per .25km or 30XP per .25 mile.

    Rookie Rides and Runs

    Kit Unlocks

    There are two kits to unlock, both for riders and runners. Complete one stage to unlock the Starter kit. Complete all five stages to unlock the coveted Finishers kit. 

    We aren’t sure which kit is the “starter” and which is the “finisher”, but these images show all four.
