# Performing U-Turns in Zwift

When you're [free-riding](https://support.zwift.com/en_us/cycling-activities-ryXAjrqYo) or working out in Zwift, you can perform a U-turn on most routes. There are a few things to keep in mind though:

*   You can't perform a U-turn when you're in an event or meetup.
    
*   You can perform a U-turn to repeat a segment, but you won't receive additional Power Ups for going through the same arch multiple times in a short period of time.
    
*   You can't perform a U-turn if you're going under 3mph (~5 kph) and your u-turn may be delayed if there are Zwifters trying to pass you.
    
*   You'll slow down to 15mph (~21kph) before making the turn.
    

There's a few different ways you can perform a U-turn:
