The Zwift Fondo Series is back.
First time at the fondo? Welcome! A fondo is a giant group ride, and many newcomers tend to enjoy the ride-at-your-own-pace style of these events. Seasoned fondo riders, get ready to put your legs to work. This mega-event brings together tons of Zwifters riding to make their best time. And it’s your chance to unlock THREE exclusive kits!
RIDE SCHEDULE
Fondo weekends will take place the first weekend of each month, starting December 31, 2021 and ending in March 2022:
December 31, 2021 - January 3, 2022
February 4, 2022 - February 6, 2022
March 4, 2022 - March 6, 2022
UNLOCK THREE JERSEYS
Each month features a new and exclusive kit unlock. All Zwifters who finish a Fondo event of any distance will unlock that month’s Zwift Fondo kit. Ride each Fondo to collect ‘em all.
Note: You must ride the complete length of the Fondo to unlock that month’s jersey.
CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
The Zwift Fondo Series comes in three different endurance challenges: Gran, Medio, and Bambino lengths. Choose your preferred ride based on your timescale, fitness, or your own personal goal. This is not a race, but some will choose to ride it like one. Do what’s comfortable, and go at your own pace. If this is your first Zwift Fondo or big group ride on Zwift, welcome to the party.
Unlike other Zwift events, the A, B, and C groups don’t refer to rider strength or fitness. Instead, they correspond to route and distance options.
- A Group // Gran Fondo = The most epic challenge, and one to check off the bucket list!
- B Group // Medio Fondo= Find a good pace and push to the finish, or find a group with similar goals and work together to complete the distance.
- C Group // Bambino Fondo = Great for the first-time Fondo rider or for a shorter challenge.
IS THIS A RACE?
No, but some participants may ride it like one. Each Fondo is a personal challenge against a set distance and the clock. It's all about doing your best and trying to finish.
