    Zwift’s Route, Climb, and Workout of the Week challenges are designed to get you riding routes and workouts you may not otherwise ride, in return for an XP bonus you wouldn’t otherwise earn. That’s right: finishing one of these weekly challenges earns you an XP bonus that varies based on the difficulty of the route/climb/workout.

    Each week features a blend of challenges, including a shorter challenge (250XP), a medium challenge (500XP), and a longer challenge (750-1000XP). See the full schedule below.

    Weekly challenges switch at 9am Pacific each Monday (noon Eastern, 4pm UTC).

    To ride the Route/Climb/Workout of the week, begin by clicking the challenge card on the homescreen. Here’s what it looks like for the Route of the Week:

    Pro Tip: Double Up!

    The Workout of the Week can be “stacked” with the Climb or Route of the Week to earn bonus XP extra fast.

    To do this, you must first click the Workout of the Week challenge card to be “registered” for the week’s workout challenge.

    Next, click the Route or Climb of the Week challenge card and enter the map to begin riding that challenge.

    Once you’re in the game, pull up the list of workouts (use the “E” keyboard shortcut or access it by clicking Menu>Workouts). Find this week’s featured workout in the workout archive. (If you aren’t sure where to find it, click the workout on the calendar above to learn where it’s stored.) Load the workout and complete it while also completing the Route or Climb of the Week, and you’ll earn both XP bonuses!
