So let met get this correct the Runners don’t start from the Pens? Is this correct?

25

I am in the US and can only see the 16KM run (Ride?) for Sunday. Can’t see any of the Rides.

Seeing the same or not seeing. Only way I was able to signup for events was through a third party website. Unable to see any TDZ events in companion app.

27

The at Home Cycling & Running Virtual Training App page doesn’t seem to work.
It loads initially, then goes to a blank page.
I’d like to see when the stage 2 events are, so I can sign up.

Can the U.S. get some better options for morning runs for the Tour de Zwift? Currently we can only run at midnight or 2AM. I run in the morning around 4:30 or 5AM and would rather do that than the Turn up Tuesdays and stuff.

The next morning option for us is 9AM when most people are at work and then evening which doesn’t work for me.

The times should be moving around by an hour or two each day. The same times for all four days seems like a scheduling error given previous stage events have changing times.

Tuesday thru Saturday the morning times for the U.S. are 12AM, 2AM, and 9AM. The next time is noon. For Sunday it’s 1:30AM, 2AM, and 9AM. Then there are a few afternoon slots.

Again, I want to do these races but these times don’t work. I don’t understand why it can’t be available like the various Nike challenges…

You should be able to go to the Events tab, then select the bike icon or the runner icon to find the Cycling or Running events.

Looking at our server logs, I noticed that both of you were using the previous version of Zwift Companion on the day you posted your respective questions. Now that you’re both on v.3.10.0, are you able to find the Cycling / Running events for Stage 1?

32

You would have thought that. I did figure since there are no “E” races and my filter was for only “E” races (don’t remember setting that) I can’t see them. Guess system works as designed, but not how I had expected. Thanks for the reply! Ride on Brah

Doesn’t appear to be pulling in the dates to allow for one to sign up for stage 2.

Stage 2 events signups will be pushed live soon.

For sake of planning, I try to plan my training at least a week in advance. Not knowing the schedule until a day or two before can be a challenge.

36

Continuing the discussion from Tour de Zwift 2020 Running FAQ:

I am done with stage 2 and 3 but I missed stage 1. Is there a make up stage 1 run?

37

From this Tour de Zwift 2020 Running FAQ
„ What if I miss a stage?
Makeup stages will be available from Feb 9th to Feb 16th, after Stage 7 completes. During that one week, we’ll host events to cover all 7 stages. Event slots are limited, so make sure you plan to finish the missing stage accordingly.”

38

Thank you!

39

Can someone confirm whether stage 4 is still 1.9 miles? When signing up it now says 5 miles. Thanks,

40

@Karen_Bart the Companion app has it at 1.9 miles. I think some of the confusion is cause the runs are happening on cycling courses. The Bologna TT course is 5miles total, but my guess is the run isn’t the whole course.

@Karen_Bart and @DKE_Watson
From our Run team: for Stage 4, 8.1 km is correct. The distance is the full loop. Sorry for the confusion.

42

Thank you for clarifying. Can you please pass on that they should reconsider how this is done in the future. These distances are just not realistic for the casual runner, particularly those that are trying to get this done while working. I thought this was to be a fun, inclusive event. Perhaps they should offer long and short distance options.
