Announcing the KISS Crit Series

Who’s ready to race? We’re proud to announce the new KISS Crit Series, running every Thursday, starting on December 7, 2017, and ending February 28, 2018. Ten races in all, we take two weeks off at the end of the month for the holidays.  

The KISS Crit Series is points-based competition and open to all Zwifters. With men’s and women’s divisions as well as a separate series for North America and Europe, click the appropriate link below for more info.

The reward? The top competitors will be invited to a LIVE Racing final in March to determine who will be crowned the KISS Crit Series Champion. Stay tuned for location and date.

There’s something in it for everyone with weekly prizes being drawn at random for all eligible finishers, regardless of placement in the race.

  • Top 3 live finalists in each gender winning a Tacx trainer (for the Europeans) and a Cycleops trainer (for the North Americans).
