“Community Racing Festival” ZRacing Series Announced

To celebrate 10 years of community-organized racing on Zwift, the popular ZRacing series is taking a break from its usual schedule and hosting a community takeover from October 7 through November 24.

Every weekday will feature a different community race organizer – 35 in total – and their selected race course. Races will award double XP, and for the first time ever, all the races will be categorized using Zwift Racing Score!

Zwift Racing Score Launch!

Zwift Racing Score has been used for limited test events in the past few months of ZRacing, but beginning with the Community Racing Festival, all ZRacing events will use Zwift Racing Score.

Zwift has settled on subgroup ranges which will be used for all Zwift-branded races beginning October 7. Here’s how those ranges have evolved in ZRacing over the past few months:

Monthly GC and ZwiftPower Notes

ZRacing typically includes a monthly GC, but because of the daily structure of the Community Racing Festival, no overall GC will be tracked for October + November.

Update: James at Zwift has set up a GC for the Community Racing Festival. He describes it as “… not a serious GC. Just something I set up for fun” because it tracks every race of the series, and nobody is going to race every day’s stage… are they? (Spoiler: somebody will. For sure).

Here’s the link to that GC, so you can figure out who’s crazy enough to race all 35 stages >

You must use a heart rate monitor to show up in ZwiftPower results for this series.

Get the Badge

Each month’s ZRacing series has a unique achievement badge, which you can unlock by finishing every stage for the month.

The Community Racing Festival is deviating from the standard ZRacing setup, so in order to unlock the badge, you will need to finish 7 different races.

One and Done

These races are designed to deliver a solid 1-hour workout, so each race should only take around 1 hour to complete, including your warmup and cooldown.
