ABOUT

With almost 36,000 participants, the Vätternrundan is the world’s largest recreational cycling event. Every year, hardcore racers, casual riders, and cyclists of every stripe come together for a 315km ride around Sweden’s Lake Vättern.

This one-day event is the crown jewel of the bike festival that’s two weeks long and includes lots and lots of bike rides.

Athletes from all over the world make the trip to experience the Vätternrundan magic. But it’s reputation is both its blessing and curse: getting an entry for the main event is difficult.

We’re teaming up with the Swedish Zwift Riders (SZR), who will lead group rides every Sunday for 12 weeks between January 17th, 2021 and April 4th, 2021. Everyone who completes a ride will unlock the Vatternrundan in-game kit.

THE KIT

Participating Zwifters will be auto-assigned the stylish Vätternrundan Zwift Kit, adorned in Swedish national colors. Finish the ride, and the jersey will be permanently unlocked.

IS THIS A RACE

These are group rides led by the Swedish Zwift Riders. Aimed at building a community around riding the Vätternrundan and rides of similar lengths, each ride will be progressively longer to really build your long-distance legs.

They aren’t races, but be sure to push yourself to make the most out of this series.
