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.

--What are the events that you will be competing in this time?

I've never been to this venue before, but it's a lot of fun. The moment I arrived, the atmosphere was great, and I was instantly excited."

--What kind of run are you going to do today?

The basic concept is a fun run. I want to run while having fun and not pushing myself too hard. It is refreshing to enter a race with a different feeling than usual."

--What are your impressions of the venue?

There are booths of all kinds of brands. I meet a lot of people I know, and it's hard to move forward (laughs). (Laughs.) That's part of the fun.

Result: Finished the race in 55:50 (SAKUYA 9k)
