    The last community race of the Zwift World Series happens next week, with riders tackling the climby Power to the Tower route. While race 5’s has been delayed for elite racers (read more here), all are welcome to participate in next week’s community events.

    Here are the big reasons why the Zwift World Series community races are interesting:

    • They function as a monument race one weekend per month from September to January, offering a chance to challenge and test yourself against the Zwift racing community
    • Plenty of opportunities to participate, with races scheduled from Thursday to Sunday across multiple time slots
    • Global Leaderboards for each month’s races (here is the leaderboard for race #5)
    • Zwift World Series Community kit unlock when you complete any of the five races
    • Three brand-new courses and two never before featured in Zwift racing (see all routes here)

    Route Details: Power to the Tower

    This route has, by far, the most elevation of the five ZWS races. It also may be the most inventive of the new routes created for the Zwift World Series. It features three tough climbs: the Epic KOM Reverse, The Grade, and the Epic KOM forward. And it’s the only route in game that uses the Radio Tower KOM as the finish line!

    • Format: Scratch Race
    • Laps: 1
    • Distance: 45.3km
    • Elevation: 1496m
    • Powerups: Draft awarded at the Epic KOM (1x)
    • More Route Details >
