HerD Beginner Race (HBR) is intended as an introduction to racing event that is a scratch race meaning you should only focus on your finish position. HBR uses Zwift Racing Score. Zwift will recommend which pen you should race in.

Categories for this event are 0-150, 150-225, 225-300, 300-375, and 375-425. Racers within a band will only see and be racing against racers within their band (i.e. Racers within the 0-200 band will only see and race against those in that band).

Each week HBR races will have a different focus; racing on a flat route, undulating, small climbs, and a route that is commonly used in many Zwift racing events. In addition, the last race of the month will be Tick-Tock so that you can monitor your performance.
