Our Story
KISS Road Race Series was founded by a group of busy fathers wanting to participate in racing on Zwift at a time that suited their schedule around young families. We created KISS and had our first scheduled race on Monday 21st December 2015 at 8pm, there were 35 participants with the race being won by Pascal Evers.
Our intention was to provide easily accessible racing without any complicated rules or joining instructions using the more gamified functionality of Zwift. In the early days, we even allowed bike swaps on the fly.
5 years later, we are still going strong, with hundreds of organised races under our belts. We have organised some of the biggest racing events and series on Zwif including the Tour de Zwift, the first-ever Virtual Cycling World Championships, KISS Chase, Pretzel race in support of the Canyon Bike Mission, Live KISS Crit Championship in London and Long Beach and the KISS Super League.
We’ve seen many changes over time with the introduction of the Event Module, the joint development of live data presented in the form of ZwiftPower, split starts and the “bug” that allowed swapping bikes on the fly being written out by the developers at Zwift.
