    “Get Rolling” ZRacing September Series Details

    Eric Schlange
    By Eric Schlange
    August 31, 2023
    LAST UPDATED September 11, 2023

    12 months after its launch, Zwift’s “ZRacing” is the platform’s most popular ongoing race series. September’s event details have just been shared, and the theme is “Get Rolling,” just like when the series launched in September 2022.

    This month features easier (flatter) race courses designed to attract new racers and riders getting back on Zwift after a summer outside. Will every race end in a pack sprint, or will Pack Dynamics 4.1 encourage more breakaways? We’ll find out soon enough…

    Get Rolling – September’s Route Schedule

    • Stage 1 (Sep 4-10): Flat Route Reverse (Watopia)
      • 1 lap (10.7km, 61m elevation)
      • Powerups: Aero Boost, Draft Boost, Feather
    • Stage 2 (Sep 11-17): Two Village Loop (Makuri Islands)
      • 1 lap (13.1km, 88m elevation)
      • Powerups: Aero Boost, Draft Boost, Feather
    • Stage 3 (Sep 18-24): Classique (London)
      • 2 laps (16.6km, 50m)
      • Powerups: Aero Boost, Draft Boost, Feather
    • Stage 4 (Sep 25-Oct 1): R.G.V. (France)
      • 1 laps (24km, 133m)
      • Powerups: Aero Boost, Draft Boost, Feather

    Racing Score

    Zwift recently rolled out their Racing Score metric. At this time, the only scored races on Zwift are these ZRacing events.

    Read all about Racing Score >

    Series Structure

    The ZRacing series consists of monthly sets of weekly races. Each race is scheduled for seven days (beginning 1:10am UTC on Monday and running through to the next Sunday). Timeslots are consistent week to week and month to month.

    Races are scheduled ~15 times each day, so there are plenty of available times to find a race.

    See upcoming events at zwift.com/events/tag/zracingaug2023

    Monthly GC on ZwiftPower

    Each monthly set of races has a time-based GC (general classification) tracking riders’ best finishing times for each week’s race. The overall winners in each category for the month will be the riders with the lowest overall time for that month’s set of races.

    See September’s GC on ZwiftPower >

    With over 100 weekly timeslots available, riders can race each week’s event multiple times and try to better their finishing time. Tip: the fastest times usually come from the largest race fields!

    Note: you must use a heart rate monitor and be on a smart trainer, smart bike, or power meter to show up in ZwiftPower results for this series.

    If you aren’t signed up for ZwiftPower, check out our post How to Sign Up for ZwiftPower (and Why Every Zwifter Should Do It).

    Get the Badge

    Each month’s series has a unique achievement badge, which you can unlock by finishing every stage for the month. There are no makeup events, so if you miss a stage, you miss out!

    One and Done

    Zwift has planned these events to deliver a solid 1-hour workout, so each race should only take around 1 hour to complete, including your warmup and cooldown.

      The races are too short. Less than 20 min.

      I am supposedly target audience here – getting back on the bike not just after a summer outdoors (which in theory would have made me a lot fitter) but after 7-8wk off any fitness following a crash and surgery.
      But 10km rides? Come on… Riding the RGV is fine, you can ride it mostly flat out, there’s a couple places to try break away toward the end. But the others are pointless.

      Then do the PretzelFest as a warmup first.

      “Most popular” and “scheduled 15x per day” are probably related! I do like that these start at 10 past the hour, good for those of us trying to sneak away during lunch break after a meeting.

      Forgot how short these were when they started last year, 10k on a flat course is silly distance.

      I agree shame they are this short. Should have really been 2x the distance on each stage.

      But lets hope it works well to bring people into racing now that they start to come indoors again after the summer. Maybe September is a month early though.

      Well, I am happy with the short distances! I am unfit due to various health issues and my ftp is currently 1.1W/kg. Most races and racing series are distances that will take me ages to complete or are not feasible at all! And I will ride solo most likely before we left the pen.

      Strong/fit/whatever riders have all the opportunities to race! This at least feels like a serie I can join too.

      A person’s overall position will change throughout the week as other riders complete the week’s race. I am curious to know how my position will change from week to week. Will there be a way for riders, when the week is complete, to see what overall position they were in at the end of the week?

      Is there a way for me to see what my standing was last week? So far this week some people have completed 2 races, I am still waiting to do my second. At the end of the week, I would love to see how my position has changed from one week to the next

      The link is still not active? Anyway, these races have been popular for months now and the short distance is part of that. You go over ftp. It’s a huge group. It’s a lot of fun. The longer races are everywhere if you want them, but no one’s signing up (or at least not close to entry in these races) Do this as a HIIT and then sign up for any number of other events. Typically these races last 18-35 mins max)
