Zwift Academy 2024's Sprint Showdown is here to test your legs on repetitive punchy climbs, sprints, and race strategy. It's a crucial step towards that coveted pro contract.

Dates: October 4–13
World: Yorkshire
Route: Duchy Estate
Laps: 9

Over nine laps of the Duchy Estate, tackle the undulating roads and brief recoveries before you sprint to the finish line. Keep some gas left in the tank and show off your sprint at the end!

Remember, wearing your heart monitor is crucial if you’re targeting that pro contract—it’s essential for validating your performance. Trainer Difficulty will also be set to 100% to provide the most realistic simulation of actual riding conditions.
