A crash course in the fashionable people found at the Mount Fuji 100!

We often hear that "there are many fashionable people in the trail running community," but is that true? We visited the Mt. Fuji 100, one of the largest trail running races in Japan, and took snapshots of the fashionable people who are interested in the race, not only the competitors but also the people involved with the brands exhibiting at the expo and the volunteer staff supporting the athletes.

--How did you get involved in the Mt. Fuji 100 this time?

He said, "I'm competing in the 100-mile race as an athlete. This time I will be off the booth and concentrate on running."

--What is your 100 mile experience so far?

I have completed the Shinetsu Gogaku and the KOUMI 100, and this is my fourth run. I feel that I have been able to cope with the distance little by little as I have run the race more times.

--what is your goal for this time around?

I want to finish in about 31 hours. I haven't been able to adjust very well this time, so I'm hoping I can run without exerting too much effort.

--What are your impressions of this tournament?

It has a festival-like atmosphere. There are many foreign competitors, so I feel like I am participating in an international race even though I am in Japan. In that sense, I think it is a very special event.
