A new woman-only race series has seen the light of day. The league, initiated by the Copenhagen Virtual Cycling’s Ladies team, has a goal of bringing women from all corners of the world together each Thursday to enjoy the sport of virtual cycling.
About CVC’s Ladies Team
Copenhagen Virtual Cycling (CVC) is a Danish cycling club training on Zwift together. The purpose of the club is to spread knowledge of and love of e-cycling and to create a community for Zwifters of all levels.
In the past six months, the club has grown considerably, recently gaining a women’s-only team: CVC Ladies. CVC Ladies train together each Thursday evening, primarily racing together. The team includes women of different ages and skill levels.
CVC Ladies is a positive, women’s only community where the participants encourage each other and celebrate each other’s victories. Together with eCykle Klub Danmark (eCKD), CVC Ladies invites women all over the world to participate in the new Who Run The World League!
League Schedule
The league takes place on Thursday evenings at 6pm UTC (7pm CET/1pm EST/10am PST) in February and March and 5pm UTC (7pm CEST/1pm EDT/10am PDT) in April and May.
Categories and Series Rankings
The league consists of 15 races, with each race earning you points based on your finishing position. Understanding that many participants have busy everyday lives and other obligations, you “only” need to complete 10 out of the 15 races. Your best 10 race results will count toward your overall total.
The league consists of a mixture of routes to benefit different types of cyclists, and women at all levels are encouraged to participate. These are mass start events, so riders are not broken into categories.
