A Zwifter recently asked me how many miles of roads are in Watopia, and I had to confess, to my abject shame, that I didn’t know.
So I set out to find the answer. It took some doing – lots of clicking on route details and mousework on Strava – but I’ve computed road length estimates for every map in Zwift as of November 16, 2023.
| Map | Km | Miles |
| Bologna | 8.0 | 5.0 |
| Crit City | 1.9 | 1.2 |
| France | 49.2 | 30.6 |
| Innsbruck | 23.2 | 14.4 |
| London | 40.9 | 25.4 |
| Makuri Islands | 70.9 | 44.1 |
| New York | 21.3 | 13.2 |
| Paris | 6.6 | 4.1 |
| Richmond | 16.2 | 10.1 |
| Scotland | 14.3 | 8.9 |
| Watopia | 120.8 | 75.1 |
| Yorkshire | 13.8 | 8.6 |
| Total | 387.1 | 240.5 |
Note: I didn’t double-count road length in the above table. For this calculation, a 10km stretch of 2-way road is worth 10km, not 20km.
That’s Not All, Folks
I didn’t include the experimental Gravel Mountain map in the list above since it’s never been open to the public for free riding or events. This map contains a single loop of dirt road that is 5.2 km (3.2 miles) long.
Also not included on the list are Zwift’s Climb Portal roads, since I wasn’t quite sure how to best count them. They aren’t freely accessible roads, plus they technically exist in two places and are thus seen as different roads by Strava if you ride them in Watopia or France. That said, it’s worth mentioning that there are currently 148.2 km (92.1 miles) worth of Climb Portal roads spread across 17 different climbs which rotate on a set schedule. That’s a lot of new “tarmac!”
Add the Gravel Mountain loop and colorful Climb Portal roads to the list above and you’ve got 540.5 km (335.8 miles) of roads in Zwift.
