WattFest 2021
Zwift racing returns next week with Triathlon Ireland’s new autumn-winter league – WattFest 2021!
WattFest features a women’s race and a men’s race at 19:20 every Wednesday from next Wednesday right up to the end of 2021.
Over nine rounds, WattFest will take in some familiar routes and some of Zwift’s freshest tarmac with a mix of time trialing and all out road racing.
And with four league tables each for men and women (A-D); as well as a club competition, there’s a level for everybody to stay fit and engaged as the winter rolls in.

There are four team competition tables in the women’s league and four in the men’s league (A Cat Team, B Cat Team, C Cat Team, D Cat Team)
Note: Riders should not choose Triathlon Ireland as their team if they want to be included in the team competition.
