Along the route, you’ll get up close to the river’s gentle flow, passing the iconic ‘submerged bridge,’ a true Shimanto specialty. Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring natural landscape and feel the spirit of the river as you race!

Important Notes
1. Prohibition of Distant Cheering
- Due to narrow sections on the course, distant cheering (by car, bicycle, etc.) by family, friends, or supporters is strictly prohibited. This poses a safety risk to athletes and hinders race management.
- Violations will result in athlete disqualification, and vehicle details may be recorded.
- The event organizers assume no responsibility for accidents caused by unauthorized cheering.
2. Traffic Regulations & Safety
Traffic restrictions will be enforced at the start venue and high-traffic areas. Participants must remain on the left side of the road and exercise extreme caution around passing vehicles.
- Escorts (unless officially authorized) are not permitted.
- Participants must avoid wearing face-obscuring clothing (e.g., masks) for identification purposes.
