We begin near the Neo Arcade, then quickly make our way across the top of Neokyo toward the Harbor. The first sprint comes quickly – the Tower Sprint Reverse, which takes us past Makuri Tower on our left.
Then it’s through Neokyo Center and into the Castle Park area, where pavement turns to narrow brick and we encounter the shortest of our four sprint efforts in the Castle Park Reverse.
Soon enough we’re out of Castle Park and into the Shopping District, aka “Sprint Alley”, where we’ll hit the Alley Sprint.
Then it’s time to head back across town, where we climb just a bit up onto the monorail level and take the Railway Sprint, which is Neokyo’s longest sprint.
Did you grab a green jersey the first time around? If not… go for another loop!
