Race Series & Events
Sweatfest runs indoor cycle racing series on Zwift throughout the winter season. What began as COVID relief and winter training fun has grown into a community tradition — keeping legs spinning and spirits high while the weather outside keeps riders indoors.
Racers of all levels are welcome. Check back for active series announcements, or jump into the Discord to hear about upcoming events and connect with fellow riders.
Sweatfest's winter racing series on Zwift brings together cyclists of all abilities for structured, competitive indoor events. The league format spans multiple weeks, with riders accumulating points across a variety of courses and terrains. From rolling hills to flat sprints, each week's route challenges different strengths, keeping the overall standings dynamic until the final race. The atmosphere blends serious racing with community camaraderie, where newcomers and seasoned racers alike push each other to improve. The series has become a staple of the indoor cycling calendar, offering a reliable outlet for training through the colder months.
Each Sweatfest season features a carefully selected set of courses drawn from Zwift's worlds, including Makuri Island, Richmond, Innsbruckring, and others. Riders tackle segments, sprints, KOM climbs, and circuit laps that test both endurance and tactical awareness. Results are tracked through ZwiftPower and other platforms, allowing participants to review their performance data after each event. The variety of terrain keeps the racing fresh week after week, while the points-based system rewards consistency as much as individual stage wins. The goal is simple: keep riders engaged and motivated through the winter.
Beyond the racing itself, Sweatfest fosters a tight-knit community through its Discord chat, forum discussions, and shared gallery of race photos and video highlights. Riders exchange tips on gear, training, and race strategy, while event organizers provide regular updates on standings, rule clarifications, and upcoming course changes. The season culminates with winners earning bragging rights and the coveted rubber chicken trophy, a playful tradition that captures the spirit of the league. Whether you're chasing a podium finish or simply looking for structured group rides, Sweatfest offers a welcoming place to ride.
