The Club

LGBTQ Zwifters is a virtual cycling and running Club on the indoor cycling and running platform Zwift. In addition to our Club events, we organize the LGBTQz Ride with Pride and LGBTQz Race events as well as the Pride Runs on the official Zwift calendar. We also support Zwift's official June Pride On events. All these events are group events dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community.

Who we are

We are a group of individuals who are members or allies of the LGBTQ+ community and Zwift enthusiasts.

The LGBTQ Zwifters Club has been established by Clare Taylor to form a vibrant LGBTQ+ Community within Zwift - likeminded friends riding and racing together, supporting each other, having fun together.

We are organized in the LGBTQ Zwifters Club in Zwift Companion App and on our LGBTQ Zwifters Server on Discord. You can also find us in LGBTQ+ Zwift Community group on Facebook. Even though not all club members are present on all these platforms, all channels are run by the same group of committed Rainbow Zwifters.

If you want to get to know our Club members a little better, check out the introductions channel in the Welcome section of our Discord server.

LGBTQ Zwifters Club is open to any Zwifter who is a member or supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. Your gender and sexual orientation don't matter any more than your fitness level. Membership is free and you remain as anonymous as you want to be on Zwift. So sign up! Just by being a member, you are strengthening the LGBTQ+ community on Zwift.

If you want to join one of our Pride rides, we recommend to read our Pride Ride Guide first.
