Last week, I rode Accelerate to Elevate and I had really great legs, with a new PR on the Alpe, 58 min.
So I was really happy to see not only the route badge, but also the Liftoff! badge.
But checking my badges in the Zwift app, I can see they have not been rewarded.
Strangely enough, in the companion App, the Accelerate To Elevate route is correctly marked as completed.
I have seen numerous other reports of this, and for me this really is a bug. It really should not be too difficult to process the activities after being registered and make sure all badges are required.
I had this with Temple Trek, it shows as finished in the companion app correctly, but the badge didn’t unlock in the app. I went well past the finish line on it as well and made no turns etc (though it was my second ride of the day, and I didn’t fully shut down the app, so that might have messed things up maybe?).
For that one it’s not a big deal because it’s such as short route I can redo it at any time. Would be more annoying if Accelerate to Elevate didn’t unlock
If you have a properly saved ride that shows you did the full route, contact support and they’ll probably give you the badge. They can do it if they want to.
