    Zwift Women’s Racing Series returned in May, and participation numbers were solid. So Zwift has spun up a fresh round which includes the new element of scored races!

    This is an 8-week series featuring time trials and scratch races. Riders accumulate points based on their weekly performance, and it all begins on Tuesday, July 2! See all the details below…

    • 8:30am UTC/4:30am EDT/1:30am PDT
    • 5:30pm UTC/1:30pm EDT/10:30am PDT

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

    Points Scoring and Series Competition

    This is a points series where your best result each week earns you a certain number of points. Your best 6 weekly results will then be used for the overall ranking, which means you can miss two weeks or perhaps have an off week or two but still be competitive in the overall rankings.

    Points are awarded based on your position in each event: if you win, you will score 100 points, 99 for second, all the way down to 1 point for 100th position.

    Final results for each race can be found on ZwiftPower, and the overall series rankings can be found under Leagues>Zwift Women’s Racing Series.

    Rules

    This series is testing Zwift’s new Racing Score as a method of categorization and results.

    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, we recommend entering 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. zPower riders will not be allowed to join these events.

    First-Timers

    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
    2. Read How to Race on Zwift (Setup, Strategy, and More)
    3. Have fun! Just sign up and give it your best. You’ll get a great workout in with a bunch of amazing ladies!

    Join the Club(s)

    This series is hosted by the Zwift Ladies Only (ZLO) Club, although for July the events live under the Zwift Labs club since they are testing the new Zwift Racing Score.

    We also recommend joining it on Facebook, as that’s where most of the discussion happens.
