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.

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 March’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.

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.

Wait…twice up Box Hill in Stage 2?!
I believe that’s what it means! Once is bad enough
I completed the race Scotland series. Where does the badge show up. First race series. New to racing.

Oh great, yet ANOTHER Zwift series where they have put in a Burrito Power-up stage, they must seriously just want to discourage people, thousands of people just gave up after they did this in the Scotland Crit City stage.
It’s long past time to totally dump the Burrito from Zwift, you should NOT be able to affect the speed of other riders by pressing a button!
You’re not affecting their speed. You’re affecting their draft.
I don’t mind the burrito, I find the ghost is worse. At least with the burrito you can see what others are doing.
Draft effects speed
The last stage is described as 2 races “meant to be raced back to back”. Is it required for the times to count like Tiny Races? I see a lot of folks splitting it up and I can’t tell by the standings.
Not required. That’s just the intention.
I missed Stage 3 cause of illness. Is there any possibility to repeat it?
Nope.
