ABOUT
The Tour De Zwift is our biggest cycling event ever. An epic 9-stage event across all 5 Zwift worlds. Open to the entire community, the Tour is a celebration of Zwift and the worlds within. You'll experience the best of Zwift, together with thousands of people riding by your side. It's not a race, but a giant party on wheels and a great way to experience Zwift.
Whether you're new to Zwift or a veteran of past tours, join the fun. Ride as many stages as you like. If you miss a stage, no worries! We'll be scheduling 2 make-up days at the end of the Tour.
IS THIS A RACE?
No, it's a personal challenge against the clock. Some participants will ride the event like a race, but there is no podium at the end of the Tour de Zwift. It's all about getting on the bike, pushing yourself, and completing all 9 stages.
Even though it's not a race, based on feedback from the Zwift Community, we have decided to re-enable the Real Time Placing and end-of-event Results for all of Stage 9 and all make-up Stages. TdZ is first and foremost about community and completion, but many of our users missed the added motivation of competition, even if only against themselves. But whether you are first, last, or anywhere in between, you will all unlock the same exclusive jersey upon completion of all 9 stages.
UNLOCK THE TOUR DE ZWIFT KIT
Hard works pays off when you complete all 9 stages. You'll unlock the official Tour de Zwift kit and add the exclusive jersey to your collection. Finishing all 9 stages is the only way to score the commemorative kit.
GROUPS
- A Group (Men & Women) = Men and women can join this group.
- C Group (Women-only) = This group is only for women.
Zwifters can join different groups on different stages.
STAGE 2
You saw the jungle, now get a glimpse of New York in the future. New York is Zwift’s latest world, released last fall. Stage 2 is a big climbing day with the Everything Bagel. This route covers all roads in New York — those on the ground, and those above. We’ll take in the best sights like the Plaza, the Met museum, and the Zwift High Line. We’ll hit the King of the Mountain and Sprint segments from both directions. Hard day, so enjoy that downhill.
