Need for Speed Unbound All Speed Run Locations

Need for Speed Unbound includes 30 Speed Run activities. Completing all Speed Runs with a 3 Star rating unlocks the In the Zone trophy and achievement (get 3 stars on all Speed Run activities). It’s also required to get 100% completion for the Cleaning Up trophy.

Activities start becoming available after you complete the prologue during the story, or immediately if you play online (they don’t exist in the game world until you reach a point after the prologue). Progress for the Activities is shared between Story and Online so you don’t need to worry about avoiding them in one mode or the other, but you can only get each star level reward once overall. Activities have a “Rival” completion level above 3 star that isn’t required for trophies, but they won’t show as checked off on the map unless you complete this Rival level which makes the completion of them slightly more tricky to keep track of.

Speed Runs

Speed Runs operate similarly to previous games, where you need to meet an average top speed over a stretch of road, instead of just at one point like Speed Traps. You can basically do the same thing though, and start farther down the road from the start point to get up speed, then race through the Speed Run area. Speed Runs can be started from either end of the area, so if you aren’t getting a good enough run up from one side you can attempt from the other side.

The following map regions are sorted in the general order of top left to bottom right (reading direction). Each area shows the highlighted map location for the Speed Runs.
