What is Tour of Watopia?
Tour of Watopia is a five-stage event on the island that started it all. Ride or run the flats of Watopia, hit the jungle, and take it all the way to the top with fun mountain climbs. From long or short rides, the choice is yours.
You’ll earn double XP (experience points) during this Tour. What does this mean? It means you can level up faster than ever. New levels means more swag to style up and customize your avatar in Zwift!
