No Rapha Festive 500 jersey [Dec 2025]

After completing the Rapha Challenge, I miss the jersey in my garage. Will this only be made available at the end? Do only the official Zwift Rapha rides count here to unlock the jersey? I’m confused?

Hi @_quick-flash.de_ZRG

Shuji at Zwift HQ here. Wow, you’ve done a lot of riding, congrats!

We’re batch-processing all the people who’ve ridden 500km after the Challenge is over. Keep an eye in your garage after January 2 2026.

You’re right, I met a rider wearing the Rapha Festive 500 2025 jersey while riding today.

Thank you for asking I also finished the 500k and no jersey. But aldi saw others in game wearing the jersey. It’s confusing and hope I don’t miss out on the jersey

I’m SOOOO GLAD I busted my hump finishing this as quickly as I could so I could show off the jersey … which will not appear in my garage for another week. :thinking:

Oh I know. That was my thought, too. :zany_face:

This is likely a visual glitch, they finished one of the events and was put back into the general population while still wearing the event jersey. On their screen it goes back to their original kit they wore before the event, but on your and everyone else’s screen they still have the event jersey. This same visual glitch thing can happen when entering events and changing kit and bikes in the starting pens. You can see your changes while everyone else doesn’t.

Do outside rides count?

Thanks Mike, a classic graphical error.

The event description suggests something else.

Finish the challenge and unlock the exclusive 2025 Rapha Festive 500 jersey, automatically delivered to your Zwift garage once you hit the mark. Indoors? Outdoors? Just ride.

The descriptions say they do (as above). I also did IRL rides to complete this.

I am also done with this already but didn’t do 500km or 1000km in a single ride which seems to be the must do standard now. :grimacing:

Same here. Just finished today. Wanted to ride around with my Rapha jersey!

Happy to wait for the batch process to be done.

No rush.

I’ve found the solution on reddit (but I am not able to paste links here)
Try logging into zwift in an incognito browser window, it might help.

If you read Reddit, you’d see someone alleging that the Zwift unlock is only possible by riding 500km only on Zwift. While the Rapha badge is available either way. And then a big dispute…

So don’t believe everything you read.

I finished the 500k Rapha event today, passing 500K, but the last 37 miles didn’t record…so it doesn’t show? What can I do. An earlier warm-up of about 5.5 miles shows in Strava, but not the 37 miles.
