EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT

Welcome to Zwift's version of the 2018 Amgen Tour of California. We've hand-picked each stage to create a similar experience to what the Pros are racing. You'll get to experience what it's like to compete for 7 straight days over varied terrain and distances.

IS THIS A RACE?

No, it's a personal challenge against the distance and the clock. Some participants will ride the event like a race but there is no winner of Zwift's Amgen Tour of California. It's all about doing your best and trying to finish as many stages as possible.

PRIZES

- One lucky Zwifter will be chosen at random each day to win a signed 2018 Amgen Tour of California leader jersey made by ASSOS.
- One lucky Zwifter will be chosen at random each day to win an ASSOS bib short.
- Complete any stage and you'll unlock the 2018 Amgen Tour of California kit.

TURN UP THE VOLUME!

Before the start of each stage, Dave Towle, the "Voice of the Amgen Tour of California", will describe what the pros will face that day and pick his favorites. He'll also discuss what Zwifters will face in their stage. Be sure to turn up the volume, you don't want to miss it!

STAGE 1 / REAL WORLD

After first visiting the City of Long Beach in the Amgen Tour of California’s second installment, the race makes a long overdue return to this urban waterfront playground. Long Beach is the home of Zwift HQ so we're excited to have the world's best riders race outside our front door. The Pro riders will race through the flat streets of downtown Long Beach for a total of 83.6 mi / 134.5 km.

STAGE 1 / ZWIFT

We kick-off the Amgen Tour of California with 3 laps of the Watopia Flat Course. Fun Fact: some of the buildings in the finish area are modeled after actual Long Beach buildings. The Ferris Wheel also exists in Long Beach.

COURSE: Watopia Flat
LAPS: 3
LAP DISTANCE: 6.4 mi / 10.3 km
TOTAL DISTANCE: 19.2 mi / 30.9 km

Good luck Zwifters!
