    Zwift Women’s Racing Series Announced

    LAST UPDATED February 29, 2024

    Zwift has spun up a new racing series just for the ladies! We’re announcing it now since this is Women’s History Month, but the 6-week series begins in April. It features races every Tuesday in 4 different timeslots. Each week’s race is on a different course, and the series features different types of races: an iTT, two short scratch races, and 3 points races.

    Event Schedule

    Races happen on Tuesdays in four different timeslots (these may shift 1 hour due to upcoming time changes):

    • APAC: 10am UTC/6am EDT
    • EMEA: 5:30pm UTC/1:30pm EDT/10:30am PDT
    • Americas East: 7pm EDT/4pm PDT
    • Americas West: 10pm EDT/7pm PDT

    Browse upcoming events in the series at zwift.com/events/tag/zwiftwomensracingseries >

    Points Scoring

    This is a points series where your result each week earns you a certain number of points. Those points are then tallied up for the overall 6-week series, with the highest points earners in each category and timeslot coming out on top.

    Note: if you’re aiming for the overall victory you must always enter at the same time. Points will not carry from one time zone to the other.

    Rules

    This series uses Category Enforcement to keep racing fair.

    If you upgrade mid-series, your points cannot be transferred to your new category. If you think it is likely that you will upgrade during this series, please enter all races at the higher category.

    These races are open to all women, but for your results to count, you must be wearing a heart rate monitor and using either a smart trainer or power meter. Sorry – no zPower riders in the classified results.

    First Time Racers

    Never raced before on Zwift? This is a great place to start! Here are a few tips to get you started:

    1. Sign up for ZwiftPower so you’ll be included in the final results
