Are there any Running Zwifters on this forum?
How do people meet up for group runs?
Are there any upcoming events or games or challenges for runners ?
There are runners. For the Zwift running forum click the bold word “Running” below…
If you use the companion app you can look for running events and you will also find that there are Zwift running clubs.

Now and again Paul… now and again.
Hi @J_Rav
As @Tim_dODZ has demonstrated there are plenty of group runs daily to suit your location. You don’t need to worry about pace as very few are races so just join in and enjoy the chat.
As for challenges the Tour of Zwift starts in January which has several stages and you can unlock kit.
There are numerous clubs also and the biggest running club ZLDR have a January challenge where you compete as part of a team for fun. The missions are fun and are designed for you to meet new runners.
Running on Zwift is a friendly welcoming experience.

Thank you all
I have an unrelated followup. How do you make turns?
I pressed all over the iPad app but couldn’t find any way to turn left or right down the two different paths and my avatar just got stuck running in place.
Any advice ?
Thank you Tim
When a turn is possible an icon pops up at the bottom of the screen indicating the direction your avatar will go.
This will have a ring around it that acts as a countdown timer until no turn is possible.
Press on this icon and it’ll bring up the alternate directions you can go.
Obviously making a turn deviates off the route you are on and you won’t get the completion badge for that route if one is available.
Hi Stuart,
Have you got any more detail on the ZLDR January Running challenge, I have had a look and can’t see any detail anywhere.
Thanks John
I’ve spent a bit of time running in Zwift over the years (still do), but unlike cycling, Zwift running feels largely like a solo activity. Over time, it seems to have lost its critical mass, and as a result, group participation has dwindled significantly. TdZ in January is likely to see the highest participation.
Thanks Stuart
I will give it a go and stick it on my Zwift team home page to see if anyone is interested
Thanks John
You’re joining the wrong events then Xav.
There’s plenty of well attended group events and half a dozen or so active clubs.
Chat is less than cycling activities as its harder to do whilst running but there’s a good few that have mastered the art.
Come and pop in to some events and see.
I’m hoping that the purge on not attended cycling races gets extended to all events including running so that the calendar gets cleaned up and the remaining events are ones with a leader etc…
