Women's 100
Returning 5th + 6th September 2026. Ride with the women who chase you forward. This year, the Rapha Women’s 100 is celebrating the best rivals and fierce friends who make us stronger. The friends who give us a line to follow. And the rivals who give us a reason not to hit snooze. The riders we love to beat – and love to see win, too.
IRREPRESSIBLE MOMENTUM
Water can be an unstoppable force or a gentle current. Rivalry is much the same. Fierce or friendly, it smooths rough edges. In cycling, it’s the force that pushes performance, changing the way we ride and race. This is the inspiration for a special edition capsule, to mark the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in August and the Rapha Women’s 100 in September.
