    Zwift Duathlon League Announced Beginning Feb 17 2021

    Our friends at WTRL who brought us the wildly successful Zwift Racing League have just announced their next partnership with Zwift: the Zwift Duathlon League!

    Director of WTRL Martin Carew says, “This is exciting.  It is the first time cycling and running is distance-focused.  This event is different, with the objective being to go ‘as hard as you can, for as long as you can with the aim to go as far as you can.’” 

    How the Races Work

    The concept is simple: Zwifters will ride as far as they can in 35 minutes, then run as far as they can in 15 minutes, with a 10-minute transition from cycling to running.

    The bike races are mass-start, with no drafting, so you will need to select your best Time Trial bike and be prepared to go full gas! (See below for help choosing your fastest TT setup.)

    A transition time of 10 minutes allows you to change your shoes and power up the treadmill.

    The run event is simple: just run as far as you can in 15 minutes.

    How Scoring Works

    A simple scoring system will determine your league position:

    • For every complete 5 meters cycled you will earn 1 point. 
    • For every meter that you run, you will earn 1 point.

    Scores are then added together to form a league table by age group.

    Routes & Schedule

    The Zwift Duathlon League will take place weekly starting on Wednesday February 17, and consist of 6 total races.

    Each week’s race has 6 Wednesday timeslots to choose from (or Thursday depending on your timezone):

    • 3:00 AM & 3:45 AM PST // 6:00 AM & 6:45 AM EST // 11:00 AM & 11:45 AM GMT
    • 7:00 AM & 7:45 AM PST // 10:00 AM & 10:45 AM EST // 3:00 PM & 3:45 PM GMT
    • 11:00 AM & 11:45 AM PST // 2:00 PM & 2:45 PM EST // 7:00 PM & 7:45 PM GMT
    • 3:00 PM & 3:45 PM PST // 6:00 PM & 6:45 PM EST // 11:00 PM & 11:45 PM GMT

    • 11:00 PM & 11:45 PM PST // 2:00 AM & 2:45 AM EST // 7:00 AM & 7:45 AM GMT
