ABOUT

Let's ride together to conquer the Watopia Four Horsemen, Pretzel, or Three Sisters course. Join either the Gran, Medio, or Bambino Fondo and ride at your own pace to set your best possible time.

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 this Fondo. The goal is to finish the Fondo you choose in your personal best time.

UNLOCK THE FONDO KIT

All Zwifters who finish the event will unlock the official Zwift Fondo kit for that month. Completing the event is the only way to unlock this badge of honor for keeps so don’t miss out! When Zwifters see you in the kit they will know you finished the SBS Cycling Central Zwift Fondo.

COURSE INFO

COURSE: Watopia Four Horsemen
LAP DISTANCE: 89.3 km / 55.5 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: 2112 m / 6929 ft
DESCRIPTION: The “Four Horsemen” route covers all four Zwift climbs: the original KOM, Volcano, Epic KOM and the new Alpe du Zwift. Along the way you’ll also cover (nearly) every bit of road on Watopia, so it’s a complete tour of our virtual fitness paradise. This is no leisure tour, though: be ready to work as you climb over 2000 meters in just under 90 kilometers!

COURSE: Watopia Pretzel
LAP DISTANCE: 72.2 km / 44.9 mi
ELEVATION GAIN: 1,333 m / 4,375 ft
DESCRIPTION: “The Pretzel” route on Watopia is punishing indeed, at 72.2 km / 44.9 mi in length and an elevation gain of 1,333 m / 4,375 ft. This route covers all segments in Watopia at least twice.

COURSE: Watopia Three Sisters
LAP DISTANCE: 48.3 km / 30.0 mi
ELEVATION GAIN: 897 m / 2,942 ft
DESCRIPTION: Watopia’s “Three Sisters” route covers all three Watopian climbs (Hilly KOM, Epic KOM with radio tower, and Volcano KOM) in a forward direction. While not as punishing as The Pretzel it will still put you in the hurt locker with almost 900 m / 3000 ft of climbing.
