ABOUT
Three stages. Three of Zwift’s toughest routes. The 2022 Rapha Rising challenge is back for the first time since 2017—hope your legs are ready.
We’re calling on all cyclists looking to chase a major challenge: three back-to-back days of epic climbing. We won’t lie to you, this’ll be tough. Conquer it though, and it’ll be one of the most rewarding events you’ve ever done.
Put your endurance to the test Feb. 25–27.
IS THIS A RACE?
Yes and no. While this is meant to be a unique challenge that puts your legs and lungs to the test over three tough stages, you’re welcome to participate in the General Classification—just register on ZwiftPower prior to the challenge.
