Bonus Stages
Two formats, one bonus challenge
The Bonus Stage offers up two unique race styles. Crit Cade is fast and gamified—use PowerUps and steering to make moves in real time. Prefer a purer test? The Epiloch TT delivers a straight-up race against the clock, no steering required. Two ways to race, one extra chance to get involved.
See How You Stack Up

FAQ
Zwift Games is the biggest community racing event of the indoor season, bringing Zwifters from every corner of the globe together in a progressive, multi-stage series that celebrates participation, effort, and shared challenge. Across five brand-new core stages, riders line up in massive fields, race in inclusive formats, and unlock standout rewards as they progress. And beyond the main stages, bonus events add extra ways to take part, try new race formats, and keep up the momentum.
It’s not about the podium—it’s about showing up, taking part, and being part of something bigger.
Road to Glory, the guided introduction to Zwift Games, begins Monday, February 9th at 16:40 UTC. All Zwift Games routes will be available on demand starting Friday, February 13, with the weekly stage races kicking off on 16 February. Make-up events run until 15:10 UTC on Monday April 6.
Yes! Absolutely. All five core Zwift Games stage routes will be available to ride on demand starting February 13th. You can complete each route at your own pace and still earn stage progression and unlocks, just like the rest of the campaign. On-demand rides don’t count towards the General Classification, but they’re a great way to take part, explore the routes, and unlock the rewards.
The Bonus Stage is an optional extra week of Zwift Games that gives you two different ways to take part beyond the five main stages. It doesn’t affect the overall General Classification, but each option has its own standalone rankings and counts toward your overall stage completion and unlocks. You can choose between a solo Bonus Stage TT or the gamified Crit Cade race, depending on how you like to ride and what equipment you have.
In order to complete Zwift Games and receive 6,000 XP, you will need to complete ALL of Stages 1-5 plus ONE of the two bonus stages. You’re welcome to race both, but only one will register as Stage 6 completion.
We will have makeup events from March 30, 2026, to April 6, 2026.
