EVENT DESCRIPTION
The OG Zwift community might remember when we released the Tour of New York (ToNY) back in October 2018.
Good news: we’re bringing it back! This unique version of New York speaks to Zwift’s past, present, and future in a world based on the real thing, with an added abracadabra of creative magic.
This futuristic map is unlike anything else. If you're new to Zwift, here’s your chance to experience the city that never sleeps in its grandest sense—alongside thousands of others while unlocking the retro ToNY kit.
If you’ve ridden the ToNY, and already have the jersey, this is an opportunity to reminisce about a time when Zwift was growing. And of course, another chance to spin your legs.
THE TOUR:
The kit and design remain the same. But the format is different. We’ll be covering three stages in three days. Each stage will run a little longer than usual, so be prepared to sweat. Track your results on ZwiftPower to see how you stack up.
We’ll see you in the Park.
IS THIS A RACE?
Only if you want it to be. Sure, some folks will want to see where they stack up. But everyone is invited to pedal at their own pace. Find a pack, draft your buddies (or drop them) and keep your eyes on the screen. There’s plenty to see in this tour!
UNLOCK THE TOUR OF NEW YORK KIT
When you finish all three stages, you'll unlock the retro Tour of New York kit.
See you out there.
Stage 2 // Grand Central Circuit
Get your climbing legs ready because you’re either going up and down on Stage 2. This route has more elevation gain per kilometer than any other course in New Yor., And if that’s not enough, the short “recovery portion” of the loop takes you over the sprint section. Ouch! It covers a mix of Central Park’s ground-level roads and the elevated roads including the KOM.
A Group = 4 laps - 34.0 km // 21.1 mi
B Group = 3 laps - 20.4 km // 12.7 mi
C Group (women only) = 4 laps - 27.2 km // 16.9 mi
Lap Data:
Length: 6.8 km // 4.2 mi
Elevation: 137 m // 449‘
Lead-In: 1.6 km // 1.0 mi
