The Race Route

Location from Steel Ball Run by Hirohiko Araki

Six thousand kilometers of 1890s America — from San Diego's Pacific coast to New York's Atlantic shore, through desert, mountain, prairie, and swamp, where a horse race and a holy war play out simultaneously.

Also known as: The Steel Ball Run, The Race, SBR
