A spectacular race to savor the great nature of Hokkaido

Over 70% of Hokkaido is forested
The deep, thick bush nurtured by Hokkaido's unique terrain, clear streams that awaken every nerve in your body
Mt. Yotei towering over the area as if to encourage the desire for a challenge
Even in July, the humidity is low and a fresh breeze blows, and the bright moonlight illuminates the players on night hikes

This is a one-of-a-kind race where you can fully enjoy Hokkaido's unique climate.

COURSE

Masato Tanaka from team East Wind, the only professional adventure race team in Japan, has joined the organizing committee and will be the course creator from the 2022 race.

The teams will experience an exciting course that will shake their physical, intellectual, and mental strength.

NIGHT

Enjoy a nighttime adventure during the more than 24 hours of racing.

Hiking and MTB challenge in total darkness, relying on headlights and reading maps. A thrill you cannot experience in the daytime. You can truly experience the best part of adventure racing.

HOSPITALITY

During the race, you will run around the mountains and get muddy.
Outside of the race, however, you will have a villa with an open-plan living room and a comfortable bedroom. Enjoy the luxury of Hokkaido's natural surroundings. You can also enjoy warm and delicious meals at the race aid and after-party.

PARTY

After the finish line, the fun continues with a lavish after-party. Time to reflect on the race over Hokkaido's local beers and cocktails will be the perfect reward for your own efforts to make it through the race.

Don't miss the race commentary by Japan's leading adventure racer, Masato Tanaka.

SAUNA

The tent sauna is one of the attractions of the race.

The sound of wood burning in the quiet air envelops you in the unique steam and warmth of the sauna, providing a restful respite for your cold body.

FILM

We also offer the option of having a veteran racer accompany the team as a cameraman.

The team's heroics will be recorded, and after the race, the team will receive an edited, realistic video of the race. The team's achievements and appealing video can be preserved.
