“Neokyo Crit Course” Route Details (Makuri Islands)
Released unannounced in Zwift’s November 2021 update, Neokyo Crit Course is an event-only route which would have slipped under the radar except that its route badge appears in game. That’s right – a route badge for an event-only route! (A first on Zwift.)

Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
After a short lead-in from the Harbor Start Pens, we cross the virtual lap banner as we zip down a narrow street in the Shopping District portion of Neokyo.
The Alley Sprint actually begins just a bit before the virtual lap banner, and ends well after it. You’ll pass the Makuri Tree on your right after finishing the Alley Sprint, then travel toward Neokyo Center, passing the Center Shrine before going into Castle Park. This is where the second sprint of this circuit lives. Castle Park’s sprint is a short effort on the park’s narrow brick path. Give it all you’ve got, grab green, then finish winding your way out of the park and back to the Shopping District, where you’ll pass through the lap banner once more. Wash, rinse, repeat. Multi-lap crits will fly around this super-flat circuit – the flattest of Zwift’s crit circuits, with only 3.9m of climb for every kilometer of distance.
