As you may have read in the magazine "Huynem Unplugged," trail running is just plain fun. In recent years, the number of people competing in trail running has been increasing rapidly, and the scene is growing rapidly, with the potential for a new movement.
For those who have even the slightest interest in trail running, I would like to recommend this race, "Yatsugatake Traverse Road & Trail Running Race 2016".
Produced by Kenichi Yamamoto, a top trail runner, this race is characterized by its 50-50 split between road and trail. In other words, even beginner trail runners can easily complete the course as long as they have the minimum running ability on the road.
Incidentally, there are two events, 35 km for the long and 15 km for the middle, and the lift ride to the starting point is also an attraction. Moreover, the after-running service, where you can enjoy a buffet at the rest house after the race, is also an attractive feature.
Of course, you can take on this race with gusto as a race, but it is rather a fascinating race organized for the enjoyment of running. . Why not give it a try as an introduction to trail running? By the way, the race will be held on Sunday, October 9. Entries are still being accepted!
