    Zwift Racing League Recon Events Announced

    Zwift Racing League is far and away the most competitive and prestigious race series on Zwift. And it continues to grow, with over 2,000 teams and 17,000 riders signed up this season!

    Smart racers want to recon the course before each week’s race, so community organizers and ZwiftHQ have jumped in to schedule events on each week’s ZRL route.

    These events can be found by scrolling through the Companion app, but the only way to see all of these events easily is via the ZwiftHacks Events page since it lets you filter events by route. Here’s a link showing all events on Neokyo All-Nighter, for example.

    While there are lots of ZRL recon events happening, here are a few highlights:

    Wahoo Le Col Racing Series (Separate Events for Men and Women)

    The Wahoo Le Col team has organized a Saturday racing series for men, and a separate (new!) series for women, where each week’s race uses the route that will be raced in ZRL 3 days later.

    Women’s event Saturdays at 3pm GMT/10am EST/7am PST
    Men’s event Saturdays at 11:30am GMT/6:30am EST/3:30am PST
    See both events at https://www.zwift.com/events/tag/wlc

    Team Electric Spirit Co. Aperitivi Race Series

    An aperitivo is a pre-meal drink, and Team Electric Spirit Co. has returned once again this season with a pre-ZRL series! Each week’s racecourse is “a shortened (where possible) version of that week’s Zwift Racing League course, making it the perfect chance for a little aperitivo for those racing on Tuesday, or just a great fun series for anyone else.”

    This is a race series, too, where your best 7 from 9 results count in the overall series with points allocated based on finishing position with a small number of bonus points allocated for first past the post and fastest through each segment on the course.

    Saturdays at 4pm GMT/11am EST/8am PST
    See all events at ZwiftHacks

    ZwiftHQ Course Recon Rides

    Just today, Zwift announced they’ve scheduled recon rides hourly on Mondays. Race Director Charlie Issendorf says, “These are non-competitive, go-your-own-pace group rides, without ride leaders. Recon Rides can be done solo, with teammates, or friends from other teams. Everyone is encouraged to attend and plan their strategies for Tuesday’s race!”

    The schedule of these rides may be tweaked moving forward, but for now, see all upcoming rides on ZwiftHacks.

    Team Italy Recon Races

    Team Italy holds races each Saturday and Sunday morning (European time).

    Saturdays and Sundays at 8:20am GMT
    Sundays at 5pm GMT/12pm EST/9am PST
    See all Team Italy events at ZwiftHacks

    Rave-con

    Looking to recon the route, but not in a race format? Join Team RAVE each week for a slow-paced recon.

    Sundays at 5pm GMT/12pm EST/9am PST
    See all events at ZwiftHacks
