Expect a fast start: the first few minutes of most Zwift races are tough, with riders pushing hard to break off weaker riders and establish a selection.Much could be written about race strategy, but here are a few important tips specific to Zwift racing: Joining most races is just like joining any other group ride on Zwift: simply join the event in game and go! But be sure to read the event description as some races may have a different registration process or other rules you must follow in order to show up in the final results.
This should be made clear in the event description. Some races have no categories at all, while others base their categorization on other criteria. If you don’t know what “FTP” is referring to check out What is FTP (Functional Threshold Power) and why does it matter on Zwift? If you don’t know your FTP, check out How can I measure my FTP? The other common categorization scheme is based on your FTP: Just like real-life racing, most Zwift races organize riders into categories so more people have a shot at the “podium.” Different races use different categorization schemes, but most use Zwift’s Category Enforcement setup. Reading the race details completely will help you perform well and not get disqualified. Once you’ve chosen a race, read the race description. It should contain everything you need to know about that race’s rules, route, etc. Pro tip: some community-developed tools have more powerful event filtering capabilities than Zwift’s own calendar.
Head over to Zwift’s calendar or use the Companion app to see a list of upcoming races.
