Meetups

A Meetup is a private group ride or run that you can schedule with other Zwifters directly in the Zwift Companion app (available on both iOS and Android devices). Meetups can be more intimate than Clubs in that the group size is smaller and the invited Zwifters must be following the Meetup organizer.

### Meetup Requirements

Meetups have the following requirements:

1. Invited Zwifters must be following the Meetup organizer
2. The maximum number of followers than can be invited is 100
3. The meetup can be scheduled up to 7 days prior to the start of the meetup
4. Meetups can be held in any world
5. Once you're participating in a meetup event, you will be unable to make a u-turn until you leave the meetup
6. As long as race results are turned off, you can join a meetup up to 30 minutes late
7. Meetups require a ride or run leader, ideally, the person who organized the meetup

### Creating a Meetup

On the Zwift Companion app, complete the following steps:

1. Select '**Events**' (in the menu on Android or from the bottom of the screen on IOS).
2. Select the group icon, then select '**Create Meetup**'.
3. On the 'Create Meetup' screen, under the '**What do You Want to do?**' field, select '**Cycling**' or '**Running**' .
4. Select the '**When do you Want to Meet?***'* field and enter a date and time (7 days or less from the current date).
5. Select the '**Where do you Want to go?**' dropdown menu and pick a world and route.
6. Select the **Distance** or **Duration** and update the filed to the right.
7. Select the 'Plus' icon below the '**Who do you Want to invite?**' field. When the 'Invite Zwifters screen' loads, select the 'Plus' icon next to each Zwifter you want to invite to your meetup. The Plus icon will change to a green check mark for each invited Zwifter.
8. Under '**Customize Your Meetup**', select an option from the dropdown menu:
	1. Keep Everyone Together (this will prevent people from being dropped by the group)
	2. None (no additional options)
	3. Race Results (This will display rank, time & watts for each person after the meetup ends. This will also not allow 'late join'.)
9. If you only want to see Zwifters attending the Meetup during your ride or run, select the slider next to '**Meetup-Only View**'.
10. If you want to add a description about the meetup, enter one in the '**Message You Group'** field.
11. Select '**Create Meetup**' for IOS or '**Send**' for Android.
