Northrend Cup Returns August 25–September 8
Skyriding races are back across Northrend for two weeks — Gold on every course unlocks the Northrend Racer title and Frosted Riders of Azeroth Tabard.
The Northrend Cup is live again: August 25 through September 8. It’s a Skyriding time-trial circuit, not a raid unlock — handy if you’re filling time between Season 2 vault runs.
How to start
Talk to Lord Andestrasz in Valdrakken (Rostrum of Transformation) for the intro quest. Races also pick up from Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Northrend itself.
You’ll ride an original Dragonflight skyriding mount; if you don’t have one, Blizzard loans a Riders of Azeroth Drake for the course. Each race has Normal / Advanced / Reverse layouts.
Courses include Blackriver Burble, Citadel Sortie, Coldarra Climb, Crystalsong Crisis, Daggercap Dart, Dragonblight Dragon Flight, Geothermal Jaunt, Gundrak Fast Track, The Maker’s Marathon, Scalawag Slither, Sholazar Spree, and Zul’drak Zephyr.
Rewards
Riders of Azeroth Badges buy cosmetics from Maztha (Valdrakken) or Dathendrash (Stormwind / Orgrimmar). Gold on every Northrend Cup race awards:
- Northrend Racing Completionist: Gold
- “Northrend Racer” title
- Frosted Riders of Azeroth Tabard
Vendors also sell Skymaster’s Blood pieces plus returning Drake Racer looks, dragon customizations, the Vial of Endless Draconic Scales toy, and a Checkered Pennant.
