Loop de Loop—a new course in Watopia developed specifically for Zwift Games! Starting in downtown Watopia, the race is 24.9 km with 289 m of climbing—with one punchy climb, short, fast downhill, and high-octane sprint per lap. To make things even more dynamic, the Draft PowerUp will be available at the Sprint Arch of each lap.
The second Sprint Stage takes on the Jurassic Coast route—an exciting new course in Watopia developed specifically for Zwift Games! This dynamic stage starts at the Fuego Flats start pens, then winds its way through Titans Grove and over to Watopia’s Southern Coast. With 19.5 km of punchy rollers making for 212 m of climbing, and an Aero PowerUp on offer at the top of Titans Grove KOM—strategy will be key!
Categories A&B will take on a brand new Epic course that has been specially designed for the Zwift Games! It starts in downtown Watopia and ends at the KOM but takes in most of Watopia in between, including every punchy climb. At a staggering 81.5 km with 878 m of elevation gain, plus the Draft and Feather PowerUps on offer, it’s sure to be nothing short of epic.
Categories C&D will take on a Watopia favorite, “Three Little Sisters.” The route features three major challenges—the Hilly, Titans Grove, and Volcano KOMs, with each new climb longer than the last. At 37.7 km long with 434 m of climbing, these three sisters are truly wicked! Don’t forget to use your Feather PowerUp wisely.
The final sprint stage will take on five laps of the iconic Glasgow Crit Circuit—the course where last year’s World Champions were crowned. At 15.3 km with 166 m of climbing, Glasgow’s punchy terrain and winding roads allow for a wide range of possible strategies for the win. One PowerUp, the Draft, will be available—use it wisely!
For the Climb Stage, Categories A & B will take on a Zwift icon—the 21 hairpins of the iconic Alpe du Zwift, via Watopia’s ‘Road to Sky’ route. Gaining 1047 m of elevation in 17.3 km, this course will be a definitive test of your climbing legs. There will not be any PowerUps during the race—it’s just you and your legs to the top! Can you set a new PR up the climb? Allez! Allez!
Categories C&D will take on a brand new climbing route in Watopia: Mountain Mash. The course starts in the Jungle Pens and immediately goes up the Epic KOM reverse—a stair-step-style climb with some reprieve in the middle before the final push to the top. At 5.9 km long with 335 m of climbing and no PowerUps on offer, it’s just you and your legs for fun and glory! You got this!
