What if one of my events wasn’t saved?
Apologies. There are a handful of possible technical reasons your activity didn’t count. They include game crashes, logging in on multiple devices, working out after finishing a stage, or not completing the final lap. The best way to ensure your activity counts is to save and exit the game after completing the stage. If you run into any issues, please reach out to us—we’re here to help!
What are the race rules?
Competitors in the A and B categories must have a ZwiftPower account. Sign up well in advance. It’s free but can take some time, so give yourself a few minutes.
As you may know, ZwiftPower requires that racers use a heart rate monitor and smart trainer.
ZwiftPower will level the playing field. If a Zwifter competes in the wrong category, they will not earn points. So be sure to choose well.
C and D events are open to promote inclusivity and participation. Please choose the appropriate category.
