    Zwift Women’s Racing Series Announced

    By Eric Schlange

    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 >

    Route Details

    • Week 1 (April 4): Time Trial on Bologna Time Trial Lap
      • 1 lap (8.1km)
      • Fastest course time decides the winner
    • Week 2 (April 11): Scratch Race on Innsbruckring
      • 1 lap (9km)
      • Finishing position decides the winner
    • Week 3 (April 18): Scratch Race on Watopia Mountain Route
      • Custom length (14km), ends at Epic KOM banner
      • Finishing position decides the winner
    • Week 4 (April 25): Points Race on Richmond Rollercoaster

      • Fastest segment times plus finishing position decide the winner
    • Week 5 (May 2): Points Race on Downtown Dolphin

      • Fastest segment times plus finishing position decide the winner
    • Week 6 (May 9): Points Race on The Muckle Yin
      • 1 Lap (23.7km)
      • Fastest segment times plus finishing position decide the winner

    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

      Could not possibly have chosen worse times for APAC. 4 options for the most densely populated and cycling happy cities in Aus are… Tuesday 8pm or Wednesday 3:30am, 9am, or midday.
      sadly, I love bikes. Which means I am poor. So I need to sleep at night and work in normal working times during the week.
      Tuesday 6:30/7:00pm would at least allow NZ to still be awake so that you can get both coasts.

      I tried to use a time (the apac event) that would be rideable across Australia. If I run a second series I’ll probably pull it back by an hour so it’s 7pm in Melbourne/Sydney
