Kick off the new year strong with the Tour de Zwift! Guaranteed to be the biggest party of the year. This is your chance to explore the worlds of Zwift with thousands of other athletes from around the globe. Ride each stage once, or take on the multiple routes in each! Keep in mind these are not races, but opportunities for you to discover some of Zwift’s must-see places. If you choose to ride the Tour, there are new route badges to unlock at almost every stage.

Late Join will be disabled for all Tour de Zwift events. Join the event early and get warmed up!

Double Draft will also be enabled—meaning the drafting effect riders receive will increase by 50% during the Tour.

Ride-on Bombs are a brand new feature enabled for this year’s tour. Using the Zwift Companion app, show support to your fellow riders by tapping the white circle surrounding your location marker on the map. Each tap will deliver a TdZ-themed Ride-On to the five riders nearest you.

ABOUT RIDE STAGE CATEGORIES
Each stage offers three different routes to explore. As always, you’re welcome to choose your own adventure—ride one or ride them all!

Category A will be the longest ride, requiring the most amount of time. Category C requires the least amount of time to complete. Category B lies somewhere in between Category A and C in terms of duration. All genders can join categories A, B, and C. The D category is for women only and follows the same route as Category B.
