Register / Sign in at ZwiftPowerThe Autumn Run League starts on Thursday 8 October 2026 and runs for six consecutive Thursdays. The same race is scheduled at two-hour intervals throughout the day, allowing you to choose a start time that suits you. Only one result per week counts.
There are six scoring rounds, each using a different Zwift route and distance. Points are awarded within your league group and your best five results from six count towards the final standings.
| Week | World | Route | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Makuri Islands | Mech Isle Loop | 4.1 km |
| 2 | New York | Shuman Trail Loop | 2.8 km |
| 3 | Paris | Rues in Rythme | 5.3 km |
| 4 | Watopia | Splash and Dash | 6.2 km |
| 5 | Yorkshire | Queen's Highway | 5.6 km |
| 6 | Scotland | Glasgow Crit Circuit | 3.2 km |
Choose your group based on your current 5K average pace, not the distance or expected pace of that week's race.
| Group | 5K average pace |
|---|---|
| A | Faster than 4:29/km |
| B | 4:29–5:00/km |
| C | 5:00–5:46/km |
| D | Slower than 5:46/km |
Please choose your group honestly.
The four groups start at one-minute intervals to give runners of different abilities a fair race:
ZwiftPower records elapsed time from the first start, so the Run in the Park results remove the appropriate stagger before ranking runners. Your official result is therefore based on your actual running time.
Because the race distance changes each week, performances are converted to a 5K-equivalent result. This allows shorter and longer races to be compared fairly against the same ability standards.
If your performance meets the promotion criteria for a higher group, you may be promoted to that group for the remainder of the league. There are no automatic downgrades.
Points are awarded according to finishing position within your league group. The winner receives 100 points, second 98, third 96, then points reduce by finishing position. Your best five scores determine your final league total.
No problem. Because only your best five out of six results count, you can miss one round without automatically affecting your final score.
Yes. Heart rate data is required for official league results.
We recommend setting treadmill incline to 0% for the most consistent comparison between runners. It is a recommendation rather than a requirement.
After the six scoring rounds have finished and the league standings are decided, the season concludes on Thursday 19 November 2026 with a separate 10 km mass-start race on Makuri Islands – Fine and Sandy.
All four groups start together. The Queen Stage awards no league points and has no effect on the final Autumn League standings, but overall and group honours are up for grabs.
Official results and league standings are published at www.runinthepark.co.uk using ZwiftPower data.
