Returning for 2022, Zwift’s Tour of Watopia is held in the virtual Watopia world and offers the opportunity for Zwifters to level-up twice as fast thanks to double XP.
Beginning on March 9th, the Tour of Watopia will run over five stages with routes and distances for all abilities.
A number of new routes will be debuting for the first time during the Tour of Watopia. Four new cycling routes, Three Little Sisters, Triple Flat Loops, Downtown Titans and Eastern Eight have been created by the Zwift community.
Additional routes, Italian Villas Sprint and Mayan Bridge Loop, have been added for runners. Formerly routes collectively known as ‘Rebel Routes’, these are a selection of routes created by the community.
Previously navigated using manual turns in the game, these routes can now be enjoyed freely by all, and with the added incentive of six new route badges to unlock.
A new virtual gravel route is launching for the Tour of Watopia called Handful of Gravel. Here, Zwift notes that it… ‘will be laying down gravel over existing dirt for a new way to experience the jungle.’
For all those taking part in the Tour of Watopia, double XP provides an added incentive to… ‘acquire new level-locked swag or simply brag to your friends about your Zwift level.’
Everything is double in Zwift’s most gamified Tour, including the PowerUps. During Watopia events, PowerUps will be effective for twice the time. Upon completing all five stages, Zwifters will unlock the 2022 Tour of Watopia kit.
