A new race series has just been announced, and it’s the first of its kind on Zwift: a series just for pro triathletes!
Dubbed the “Z Pro Tri Race Series”, this weekly series kicks off tomorrow (Wednesday, April 15) with a two-lap 23 km race around the Astoria Line 8 circuit in Zwift’s New York. The women take to the start line first starting at 4:00 pm CET, followed by the men at 4:45 pm CET.
This race series will be live streamed on Zwift’s Youtube and Facebook channels, with Matt Lieto and Sean Jefferson providing commentary.
Watch the first race:
“The best triathletes in the world are on Zwift, and while some of them have been getting their competitive fix taking on the road cyclists in Zwift, I’m excited to get to watch them race their peers on the platform for the first time”, says Eric Min, Zwift CEO & Co-Founder. “It will be interesting to see how the rivalry between the long and short course athletes plays out. I’ve no doubt, there will be no holding back!”
