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.

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 (Long Distance) = The A Group rides the long-distance event. It’s not a faster group. Just a group that wants to Zwift a longer stage. Men and women can join this group.

- B Group (Short Distance) = The B Group rides the short-distance event. It’s not a slower group. Just a group that wants to ride a shorter stage. Men and women can join this group.

- C Group (Women-only) = The C Group is just for women.

Zwifters can join different groups on different stages.

STAGE 5

Ride the cobbles and celebrate — we’re at the halfway point of the Tour! We’re in Richmond, site of the 2015 UCI World Championships. This was the first Zwift world based on a real-life course. It’s got some short, cobbled climbs up Libby Hill and 23rd Street. Pace yourself on the flat sections after the start and save your legs for the later climbs. They’re short, but they hurt!
