Zwift explains the format of this showcase Chase Race: “Competitors will be gridded depending on their cycling ability. Riders are to be set off at different intervals with the strongest riders starting last. Their aim: to chase everyone down before the finish line.”

The full list of sporting stars competing are:
- Sir Chris Hoy
- Fabian Cancellara
- Nelson Vails
- James Cracknell
- Alistair Brownlee
- Alberto Contador
- Jonathan Edwards
- Kristin Armstrong
- Dame Sarah Storey
- Lucy Charles Barclay
- Maddie Hinch

A few selected members from the Zwift cycling racing community will also be mixing it up with the sporting celebrities.
The full race will be available to watch live over here.
