Request: Bring Back Epic Race Versions of ZHQ Tour Events

Racing

I recall in Tour de Zwift 2024 there were “Epic Race” versions of each stage on the weekends that were treated like races vs group rides (example description below):

The Tour de Zwift Race Series features epic-length races, which use the long route from every stage of this year’s Tour de Zwift . . .Each weekend, you’ll have the option to race two Epic Tour de Zwift races—with events scheduled at alternate times on Saturday and Sunday so you can always match your preferred race to your ideal timeslot . . . Category enforcement will place you in a race category with riders of similar ability for these events, and all races will feature set PowerUps at specific arches.

I’ve missed those during Tour of Watopia this month. Any chance they are coming back for Tour de Zwift 2025? And can we make them available for all ZHQ Stage Tour events in the future?

I’m aware of the separate Epic Race series and have raced some of those. What I was asking about was bringing back Epic Race versions of the ZHQ Tour events rather than just having the standard group ride versions. These were more like a multi-week stage series of the ZHQ Tour events done each weekend over the course of the Tour and got a much better turn out than just these one-off Epic Races.

Upvote… these were my favorite events I ever joined on this app. Big turnout, very hard and competitive racing in all the categories with great long routes.
