Route Description

Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!

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!

I can’t wait for this route to be used in ZRL or other points races using both FAL and FTS. It’s great for Z1/Z2 to Z6/Z7 intervals, just absolute punishment.

I am officially blaming you for giving that idea to WTRL for today’s ZRL ‘Finals’ 3-lap race pain
😭😂

Eric, do u have any informations, why both of the last sprints are 410 and 490m in Strava, but here in the description they are 500 and 600m?

Do we have any information on why most of the sprints in Makuri aren’t working properly? A friend and I often ride on meet-ups, however even when we ride individually the sprints either don’t register at all, the left side pop-up appears then disappears when we cross the start, or the pop-up doesn’t come up until we’re halfway into the sprint segment.

This is a great resource thanks. Would be great to be able to print a version out too.
