Overwhelming Natural Scenery and a UNESCO Global Geopark as Your Stage!
The course runs through the San'in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark. You'll run along dramatic sheer cliffs, a dynamic Sea of Japan coastline, a deep blue ocean, crashing waves, and sandy beaches (the "singing sand" of Kotohiki Beach is especially magical!).
With untouched coastlines contrasting with highland landscapes, this race lets you experience a raw, natural beauty completely different from the urban scenery of Tokyo or Kyoto.
Enjoy the Views While Challenging Yourself on Tough Ups and Downs
The course follows both the coastline and undulating highland terrain(highest point approximately 400 m), striking a great balance between scenery and challenge. Even on rainy days, the mysterious coastline shrouded in rain and the sound of waves leaves a lasting impression.
It's a challenging course with constant elevation changes that test both physical and mental strength, but the sense of accomplishment at the finish line is truly exceptional.
A Nature-Rich Stage Easily Accessible from Kyoto Station by Public Transport
This is a full-fledged ultra marathon set in rich nature, yet surprisingly easy for anyone to reach. From JR Kyoto Station, it takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes by train to JR Amino Station (the nearest station to the venue), and a shuttle bus runs from there to the race site. You can participate even without a car.
It's also a great opportunity to discover another side of Kyoto.
Warm Local Hospitality — Enjoy the Genuine "Local Charm" of Japan
One of the highlights of the race is the warm support from local residents in fishing villages and historic communities along the course.
And of course, there's the delicious food at the aid stations! Runners are welcomed with local delicacies from the Tango region, such as bara-zushi (scattered sushi), flavorful crab soup, fragrant kaki-no-ha-zushi (persimmon leaf sushi), hearty tsukimi-jiru (meatball soup), and heshiko onigiri (pickled mackerel rice balls).
Runners also receive finisher rewards including an original THE NORTH FACE T-shirt and locally sourced participation gifts. Before and after the race, you can also enjoy fresh seafood from the Tango Peninsula (including squid), relaxing hot springs, and nearby sightseeing spots such as the traditional boathouses of Ine and Amanohashidate.
Since this area has very few foreign tourists, it's ideal for those who want to experience authentic, traditional Japan away from mass tourism.
The official website is available in six languages, providing comprehensive information for international runners.
