Zwift’s Women’s Racing Series has always been popular, and they’ve just announced the first such series for 2025. Created in partnership with FemmeCycle Collab, it runs across 4 races in the month of May.
It’s somewhat experimental, too, because for the first time ever, these races will be age-based! Learn all the details below…
Age-Based Women’s Racing
Riders will automatically be placed in categories based on their age group:
- A: Under 30
- B: 30-39
- C: 40-49
- D: 50-59
- E: 60 and over
Overall GC winners will be those with the lowest overall time in your age group across the 4 races. You can also choose to participate in individual races and simply go for the win on the week.

- Mass Start: All riders (categories) will start together. Riders in each age group will wear the same kit so you can distinguish who you are racing against.
