The Zwift Tour, the biggest annual event on the Zwift platform, is welcoming 2026 from January 5th to February 22nd, with hundreds of thousands of cyclists and runners from around the world sharing kilometers across nine virtual worlds.
The six-week event is structured to suit all levels and schedules. Each stage lasts a week and offers three distance options—Long, Standard, and Short—which can be completed as a leisurely ride or a race.
Zwift will once again offer a flexible model, combining scheduled activities with on-demand options, so that every athlete can integrate the Tour into their personal training plan.
A key new feature of the calendar is a recovery week, from February 16th to 22nd, designed to allow participants to complete any stages they missed during their assigned week.
The Zwift Tour will also feature a strong presence for runners, with weekday events of around 5 km and a longer 10 km race available on the weekend, extending the event’s reach beyond indoor cycling.
True to its spirit, the Zwift Tour will once again be a true celebration with large groups and a festive atmosphere. Throughout the event, participants can unlock badges and exclusive gear within the platform.
The most ambitious Zwifters can take on the Ultimate Challenge, which consists of completing all three distances—long, standard, and short—in each of the six stages. Those who succeed will receive a bonus of 12,500 XP and unlock the exclusive Afterparty Cap.
Raffle and Limited Edition Kit
All participants who complete the Ultimate Challenge will automatically be entered into a raffle for a TDZ x Pedal Mafia Zwift Ride Smart Frame, a unique piece created specifically for the event.
In addition, those who want to take the spirit of the Zwift Tour off the screen can purchase the limited edition Zwift x Pedal Mafia Tour kit, available worldwide through Pedal Mafia.
