Make race/event distances a mandatory field

I like to do the occasional race. I like to do this as part of my training plan, i.e. I substitute a threshold workout for a race. However, using the app, I often struggle to find a suitable race, with it taking way longer than it should.

All I need to know is the distance, so I can find something suitable. Plenty of races do have this info, but just as many will say 5 laps of …, which given the amount of routes now is not that helpful.

So, why not add a mandatory field (or range) for distance that people posting events need to fill out.

Make sure you vote up the existing ones also, here is a quick search: Search results for 'event distances' - Zwift Forums

And in the mean time you can use this site Events

Also less flat races!! Richmond flat, london flat, watopia flat, volcano flat, it’s like folks don’t like going up hill for more than a minute.

You just wait til they release Watopia Super Duper Flat in a few weeks :stuck_out_tongue:

Haha oh no!! Just a surrey hills loop a couple times a week between 5-7 am MST/PDT would be good enough for me! Those 5 minute climbs/VO2 max efforts do a lot to build fitness and I can always seem to push deeper in a race.
