    During the month of March (Women’s History Month), Zwift is dedicating itself to celebrating the power and strength of women everywhere through the second annual “Women’s Ride and Run Series” (WRRS).

    “Women’s History Month on Zwift presents a great opportunity for women to come together and celebrate the community on Zwift,” says Kate Veronneau, Director of Content and Women’s Strategy. “We’ve come so far for equality in sport and 2022 is going to be a fantastic year for women in sport and cycling with the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. This series is a chance to stop for a moment and recognise the rulebreakers and trailblazers that have gone before us and pushed the boundaries for women’s sport.”

    See WRRS homepage at zwift.com/wrrs

    The series begins with “Power of the Pack” rides and runs today (March 8th, which is International Women’s Day). A variety of events are planned throughout the month, offering the women’s community on Zwift the opportunity to celebrate and unite through weekly in-game women’s-only events. Read on for details!
