Double Up With Tour of Watopia Fall 2023: Stage Details and New Features

Zwift has just announced its next major event series, and it’s the return of a crowd favorite: the Tour of Watopia (ToW) featuring double XP!

The first-ever “fall edition” of the 5-stage tour begins October 2 and runs through November 12. With double XP on tap, powerups doubled in duration, and a fresh kit to earn, you can bet Zwifters will be putting in the work to complete stages, earn points, and level up. Because everyone wants those fast bikes, fire socks, and level 60 status!

Registration

Registration is now open in game and at zwift.com/tour-of-watopia/.

Note: registering just sets you up to start checking off stages and perhaps get some email reminders about the Tour. It doesn’t sign you up for any specific events.

Double Up: XP, PowerUps, and Drafting

Typically riders are awarded 20XP per kilometer or 30XP per mile, depending on whether you have units set to metric or imperial. For ToW stages, riders will receive 40XP per kilometer/60XP per mile. Learn all about ride XP and unlocks >

Runners typically receive 10XP per .25km or 15XP per .25 mile. You will receive 20XP per .25km or 30XP per .25 mile in ToW stages. Learn all about run XP and unlocks >

Additionally, powerups will last twice as long during ToW events. Here’s a list of powerups and their doubled lengths:

  • Lightweight (feather): reduces your weight by 10% for 60 seconds.
    Use on climbs, when weight matters the most.
  • Draft Boost (van): increases the draft effect you are experiencing for 80 seconds.
    Use at higher speeds (flats and descents) when you are already drafting off another rider (since this powerup only helps when you are drafting.)
  • Aero Boost (helmet): makes you more aerodynamic (reduces your CdA by 25%) for 30 seconds.
    Use at higher speeds (flats and descents), especially when no draft is available (although it is still useful when drafting.)

New for ToW Fall ’23

Zwift is rolling out several features we’ve never seen before in this Tour, including:

  • Welcome Rides: join a Welcome Ride before the Tour begins and learn about what to expect, a little bit of Tour of Watopia history, how to participate and earn double XP, and what’s new this year. See upcoming Welcome Rides at zwift.com/events/tag/towfall2023welcomeride
  • New Roads! Stage 5 will feature new routes for riders and runners (details TBA). Read more about Watopia’s planned expansion >
  • ToW Group Rides + ZRacing: ToW used to be just group rides, but this month’s “Race Watopia” ZRacing events are a part of ToW as well. Complete stages by participating in a Tour of Watopia group ride and/or a ZRacing event.
  • On-demand: once you’ve registered, you can complete a stage by riding the route in any way – not just as a ToW event! In a fresh twist, Zwift tells us we will earn double XP the first time we complete a stage’s route, whether we ride it as an event or a free ride. So free-ride the route, complete as part of the ZRacing series, do it in a Meetup with friends… it all counts toward completing your Tour. (Note: only ToW events award double-length powerups!)
  • New kit unlocks: complete all 5 stages to unlock the Tour of Watopia Fall 2023 kit! (Same colors as the ToW Spring 2023 kit, but a different pattern.)

Ride Stages

Group ride events for ToW use the following category/group setup:

  • Group A: Longer Ride
  • Group B: Standard Ride
  • Group C: Shorter Ride
  • Group D: Women Only (same route as Group B)

Late join will be enabled for all rides, but Zwift encourages everyone to get into the pens before the event begins to maximize the fun.

ZRacing events use category enforcement and also count toward ToW stage completion – learn more here.

Remember, any route listed below can also be free-ridden (or completed in a workout or meetup) for stage credit.

Stage 1: October 2-8 “Volcano Heat”

Turn up the heat for the opening stage of this year’s Tour of Watopia. Get ready for more PowerUps, levels, and XP!

Stage 2: October 9-15 “Long Haul”

Pacing is key because this is the longest stage of the Tour. Be on the lookout for more XP and more PowerUps, and make sure you’ve got plenty of food and water. Some find a group they like early and stay with them. Others mix it up and go interval-style. How are you going to tackle it?

  • Group Ride Longer: Eastern Eight – 54.1 km (33.6 miles), 413 m (1,355′)
  • Group Ride Standard: Triple Flat Loops – 36.3 km (22.6 miles), 134 m (440′)
  • Group Ride Shorter: Tick Tock – 19.2 km (11.9 miles), 44 m (144′)
  • ZRacing: Flat Route – 2 laps – 21km (13 miles), 122m (400′)

Stage 3: October 16-22 “Epic Climbs”

Prepare yourself for an epic stage three—like any tour’s Queen Stage, it’s the most challenging stage you’ll face. Some may even say it’s a royal pain. Be on the lookout for more XP and more PowerUps as you conquer some serious elevation gain.

Stage 4: October 23-29 “Jungle Time”

Keep your eyes peeled and your safari hat at the ready! You’ll see plenty of wildlife under the cover of the jungle canopies as you unlock more XP, longer PowerUps, and new levels.

  • Group Ride Longer: Big Loop – 42.9 km (26.3 miles), 651 m (2,136′)
  • Group Ride Standard: Road to Ruins – 29.6 km (18.4 miles), 268 m (879′)
  • Group Ride Shorter: Jungle Circuit – 13.6 km (8.4 miles), 79 m (259′)
  • ZRacing: Volcano Circuit CCW – 4 laps – 21.3km (13.2 miles), 80m (262′)

Stage 5: October 30-November 5 “New Roads”

Celebrate the final stage of the Tour on all-new roads along Watopia’s Southern Coast. Be one of the first to ride this flat, coastal expressway—all the way from Fuego Flats to the Mayan Jungle, and enjoy the scenery along the way.

See stage details and sign up at zwift.com/tour-of-watopia/ride

Run Stages

Running events for ToW use the following category/group setup:

  • Group A: Longer Run
  • Group B: Standard Run

Late join will be enabled for all run, but Zwift encourages everyone to get into the pens before the event begins to maximize the fun.

Stage 1: October 2-8

Start your Tour off strong with Stage 1. Ease into the distance and get ready for longer stages.

Stage 2: October 9-15

Tackle your first 5 or 10K in Stage 2 and get rolling on double XP.

  • Longer: none
  • Standard: 5k Loop – 5.3 km (3.3 miles)

Stage 3: October 16-22

You’re over halfway there. Keep up the good work!

Stage 4: October 23-29

Three down, two to go! Keep up the effort and continue to level up twice as fast.

Stage 5: October 30-November 5 “New Roads”

Celebrate the final stage of the Tour on all-new roads along Watopia’s Southern Coast. Be one of the first to run this flat, coastal expressway—all the way from Fuego Flats to the Mayan Jungle, and enjoy the scenery along the way.

  • Route details coming October 25!

See stage details and sign up at zwift.com/tour-of-watopia/run

Make-Up Stages

Missed a stage or two? Or maybe you just want more of that sweet double XP? Make-up stages will be held from November 6-12. During those 7 days, Zwift will host events every 30 minutes covering all 5 stages.

Kit Unlocks

There are both cycling and running kits to unlock during the ToW! Kit unlocks are progressive as you complete stages:

  • Complete one stage to unlock the Tour de Watopia 2023 Cycling Cap or Runnign Hat.
  • Complete three stages to unlock the Tour of Watopia 2023 Cycling or Running Shoes.
  • Complete five stages to unlock the Tour of Watopia 2023 Cycling or Running Kit.

Apologies the hazards of late night posting and garbling terminology. As I don’t seem able to delete my erroneous post above I think we are now in Pack Dynamics 4.1(?) which, if memory serves from Eric’s very helpful testing, gives a mid pack road bike well over a 30% power saving. Very significant nonetheless.

Good question. As well, it appears now double XP is only earned the first time you ride the stage course – therefore only double XP for riding the long, medium and short course once per stage.

In the past couldn’t you harvest double XP each and everytime you rode a Tour event, regardless of how many times you ride it??

According to the ‘On Demand’ section on the website, it states “Complete one of the routes to earn credit for a stage or all of the routes to take advantage of the double XP!”
That suggests to me you don’t get double XP for an on-demand, unless you complete all the routes and then it will double the XP for those completed. Sounds a bit odd to be honest.

So this works out to around 400 and some free km worth of XP if you ride each route once, meaning that they’re putting a bit of a lockdown on having folks XP farming for a month. If you add in route completion badge credits for the new roads, it might be 500km worth of bonus, but that’s still only 1/3 of a level for free. Still going to do it, though, as it might put level 60 in reach by Christmas.

I tested this today. I started the “Ocean, Lava, Cliffside loop” and I did not finish the route. I did a u-turn just before the finish and continued to get double XP for the rest of my ride.
When I checked the on demand page it still shows that I have not completed that route.
Rinse and repeat to harvest XP.

Hoi Eric, i’m really completely new to zwift and read a lot on zwiftinsider 👍. Still on vacation, but i will prepare my zwift setup on oct 1 and do a test ride at level 1, when i’m back. So i can start Tow on october 2 👍. Can i get 2XP for the longer, standard and short route? Or only for the one i ride first? Gonna try to get the max XP out of it.

Just to confirm – you will only get the double XP once per route completion, regardless of whether you do it as part of an event or freeride? While I like the freeride option, that’s a departure from what was previously in place – you used to get it every time you did the event regardless of whether you did it before or not. Interesting!

Eric,
Any explanation for the change from 2X every time to the first time only. Zwift needs to explain some of their decision making. Dropping changes on loyal users without first asking opinions and then at least explaining the reasonings seems prone to leaving users disappointed.

Once you have signed up to the ToW you can do as many as you like, they are not restricted categories in the same way as the race ones are. A, B and C only refer to a specific distance on each stage. The only restricted ride is the women only.

Only allowing double XP on the first completion of any stage seems to me like a mistake. Double XP is a BIG MOTIVATOR for me personally to get out there and ride, and to ride longer and harder. That motivation is largely lost if I just get it the first time I ride. I can understand limiting it on “on-demand” free rides, but I think you get much more participation and excitement, and that Zwift does more to attract more people to individual events, and to the app in general, by allowing double XP as many times as you’d like… Read more »

I rode the same stage (1C) twice on consecutive days and got double XP per mile both times, even though I thought it was pretty clear from the on-screen messages during the welcome ride that you would only get double XP the first time.

There is indeed still a lot to clarify on this double xp confusion Zwift has brought us this ToW edition… Along with the doubt if we will receive double xp on every scheduled group ride event, as we did before, I’ve completed the welcome ride yesterday and a new question has come to me. Unless I’ve understood it totally wrong, they said we will also receive double xp on zracing, as long as we will be riding the route for first time. And they also said we’ll have 15 different routes where to receive double xp. So I’ve looked at… Read more »

You’ll earn double XP during the ride for the routes available, but only the first time. So seemingly ride 19km or the 20km route and quit out and repeat etc, but you’ll have to finish at least one stage fully to get the unlocks etc

I have not seen a clear answer on this. If you complete a route can you do the same route again and get double XP? I have been stopping short of completing the routes so I don’t finish them and get locked out of double XP.

I sure hope they do a second ToW in the winter when they always have held it before. I’m in North America and I’m still riding outside in October. I only ride on Zwift 4-5 months out of the year but I’ve always enjoyed ToW. I’m pretty sure only holding it in October would serve to alienate a lot of non-year-round Zwifters.

Eric, I wrote a couple of days back about not getting 2X XPs during my ToW Stage Three ride. I checked back with Zwift and it appears that this is a known issue with ATV users. Zwift offers a work around, but that didn’t work for me. Zwift also noted that riders using ATV will eventually get 2X XPs credits. But I have not received those credits yet. Would it be possible for you to check with your Zwift contacts and see what the story is? It appears that this issue, or bug, has affected many Zwifters. Thank you Eric!

I’m new to Zwift. I signed up for the Tour of Watopia and completed the first two routes in Stage 1 (Three Little Sisters and Figure 8) by Free Riding each of those routes. However, the progress bar at the top of the “Tour of Watopia” screen says “0% complete”. What am I likely doing wrong that I’m not getting credit for these two rides?

Are the route details for stage 5 available yet? If not, when do they get announced?

You wrote “Remember, any route listed below can also be free-ridden (or completed in a workout or meetup) for stage credit.” If you free-ride a route marked as ZRacing, will it count as a stage, or only in an actual race?

I did every single ride on TOW across all 5 stages and I didn’t get the TOW kit. Why and how do I get it?

I noticed that they didn’t put any of the make-up ride events on the events calendar yet, and it’s supposed to be starting tomorrow. I missed the long ride on stage 1 and wanted to complete riding everything once. I am wondering if they changed their mind about make up events for next week.
