    “Race Like a Pro” ZRacing December Series Details

    Eric Schlange
    By Eric Schlange
    November 28, 2022
    21

    Zwift’s monthly ZRacing series is now in its fourth round following September’s Get Rolling, October’s Race Like a Champ, and November’s Race Makuri. Each month has brought more and more racers out to compete for the monthly GC.

    Today Zwift published event details of December’s ZRacing Series, where the theme is “Race Like a Pro”. Let’s dive into the details!

    Race Like the Pros!

    With Zwift’s Pro Training Camp now underway, this series gives us the chance to put our training to the test and race like the pros we are training with! December features 4 weeks of racing, and each week racers will wear a different World Tour team kit for the race. (No unlock – pro team kits are for the pros only.)

    • Week 1: INEOS
    • Week 2: Jumbo Visma
    • Week 3: Bike Exchange
    • Week 4: Movistar Team

    December’s Route Schedule

    Each of December’s races is in a different world:

    • Stage 1 (Dec 5-11): London Loop Reverse (INEOS)
      • 1 lap (15km, 230m elevation)
      • Powerups: none
    • Stage 2 (Dec 12-18): Richmond Rollercoaster (Jumbo Visma)
      • 1 lap (17.1km, 138m elevation)
      • Powerups: Aero, Draft
    • Stage 3 (Dec 19-25): R.G.V. (Team Bike Exchange-Jayco)
      • 1 laps (24.9km, 107m)
      • Powerups: Feather, Ghost, Burrito
    • Stage 4 (Dec 26-Jan 1): Three Little Sisters (Movistar)
      • 29.2km custom length ending atop Volcano KOM, 405m elevation
      • Powerups: Anvil, Draft, Ghost

    See upcoming Race Like a Pro! events >

    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/zracingdec2022

    Monthly GC on ZwiftPower

    Each monthly set of races has a time-based GC (general classification) which tracks 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 December’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.

    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 its own achievement badge which you can unlock by finishing every stage for the month.

    One and Done

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

    Going hard up Fox Hill!

      Thanks for the details. I wish “Race like a Pro” meant me got to race the actual race formats the pro Zwift racers get to race, like points races and elimination races (supported by the actual UI/game instead of ad-hoc by organizers). I don’t care at all about wearing WT team kit.

      Does the custom finish of Three Little Sisters change the route? IE should I be able to get the route badge by continuing on after the race? And before you judge, I know I should have it by now… I’ve brought shame to my family.

      Doesn’t change it. If you keep riding, you’ll earn the route badge eventually.

      Thanks for not judging. Externally at least.

      Whoa. Lots of climbing in December! Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing for me. I can’t win a sprint…but I can’t climb with the super light guys. Should be a fun challenge!

      is there just one hat per ride like a pro workout, or separate hats for women’s and men’s workouts.

      Far as I know there are no unlocks at all for these races. We’re just wearing the pro kits from the named teams each week.

      I would assume yes. I believe the plan is to have a monthly series ongoing.

      NEWBIE in racing: did Makuri Race Series in Nov. and last saturdays tiny races all in CAT C. Same this week with Stage1 of Race like Pro.
      By selecting again the Stage 1 for tommorrow iam no longer allowed to do it under CAT C. Why does it happen during a race series and not after, to have the chance for completing??

      You will still get the completion badges if you do the stages in different categories. You probably just upgraded during one of the races… Congrats! 🙂

      Raced my first race ever this morning! Loved it! I’m on a TT bike so ride TT in the game, but Zwift switched me to a road bike at the start. Haha. Any idea what bike they put me on?

      Probably the basic Zwift Carbon. It’s really slow, worth it to change bikes before the event!!

      ZP only shows the GC race rankings. Are the cumulative race times shown anywhere?

      I finally reached level 33 and bought the Scott Addict RC. Is it worth sacrificing the aero of the Tron to have the better climbing setup for Three Little Sisters? Or is the Volcano KOM not long/steep enough in your opinion? If I do use the Scott, what wheel set would be best (through level 33)? I do have the Roval Alpinist in my garage.

      The Volcano KOM isn’t long or steep enough. Go as aero as you can on Three Little Sisters.
