Zwift’s “ZRacing” is the platform’s most popular ongoing race series. In July, the series is themed around the Tour de France, with all routes in Zwift’s France or Paris maps. Additionally, in a fresh twist, certain ZRacing events for July will use Zwift’s new Zwift Racing Score!

Series Structure
The ZRacing series consists of monthly sets of weekly races. Each race is scheduled for seven days (Monday through Sunday) and timeslots are consistent week to week.
Races are scheduled hourly times each day at 10 minutes past the hour, so there are plenty of available times to find a race.

Zwift Racing Score Test Events
For the first time ever, this month 4 ZRacing events per day will use the new Zwift Racing Score for categorization. Additionally, if you race these events, your race result will impact your Zwift Racing Score!
Scored events will occur at 0810, 1110, 1710, and 2210 UTC each day. These time slots will use 5 categories, except the 1710 time slot which will use 10 categories.

IMPORTANT: if you want to compete in the monthly GC (see below), you’ll want to race the “normal” events, not these scored events, because the scored categories don’t line up with the GC categories on ZwiftPower.
Monthly GC on ZwiftPower
Each monthly series includes 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 are the riders with the lowest overall time for that month’s set of races.
With over 150 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!
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. There are no makeup events, so if you miss a stage, you miss out on the badge and competing in the GC.
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.
