The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) has named Zwift as the official virtual training and events partner for the inaugural Collins Cup in 2021. The competition, scheduled to take place on Aug. 28 in the X-Bionic Sphere in Šamorín, Slovakia, is a new race format modelled after the Ryder Cup with teams from the U.S., Europe and the rest of the world. As part of the agreement, Zwift will run “The Collins Cup Tri Series by Zwift,” a four-week digital activation in the lead-up to the Collins Cup race that will encourage international rivalries prior to the race day, as fans across the world back their respective teams before the race. Also as part of the deal, the race venue will feature a Zwift Zone, where athletes will lead a group ride and run for the Zwift community.
