Zwift has announced a 3-month fondo series with times targeting the southern hemisphere. Of course, all Zwifters are invited to participate!
Is this a Race?
Only if you want it to be! A fondo is sort of a “fun race” where riders can push as hard as they want over a challenging course. With hundreds of riders participating, you can generally find a group to ride with, whether you’re going all-in for top results or enjoying the personal challenge of completing a longer ride.
Dates and Times
Fondos will be held on June 6, July 4, and August 1 (Australia time).
Events are held at multiple times over the weekend.

Routes and Categories
For these events, the category you select determines your route, not your pace. Each category is open to riders of all abilities:
- A: Gran Fondo route
97.2 km (60.4 miles), 1148 m (3,766′) elevation gain - B: Medio Fondo route
72.6 km (45.1 miles), 981 m (3,219′) elevation gain - C: Bambino Fondo route

Jersey Unlocks
All Zwifters who finish a Fondo event of any distance will unlock that month’s Zwift Fondo kit. The kits being unlocked are the same as those already unlocked in the Northern Hemisphere Fondos. Ride each month’s Fondo to collect all three!
