Safety is a top priority at Furano Trail Run. Given the proximity to natural habitats where wildlife such as bears can be encountered, organizers have implemented comprehensive measures to ensure participants' safety throughout the race:
- Pre-Race Safety Measures: The course will undergo thorough inspections by staff on the day before the event to identify any potential hazards and disperse wildlife.

- On-Course Protocols: Staff members will lead each section of the trail, maintaining a human presence that acts as a deterrent for animals.
Participants are also encouraged to take proactive steps:
- Carrying bear bells or whistles is mandatory. These devices help alert bears to your presence from a safe distance and reduce potential encounters.

- Strong-smelling items like food should be kept in sealed containers to avoid attracting wildlife.

- If you do encounter an animal, remain calm and slowly back away without making sudden movements that could provoke the creature.
Join us for this exhilarating event where runners can push their limits while enjoying some of Japan's most spectacular natural settings. Don't miss your chance to be part of a race that combines physical challenge with stunning beauty in Furano’s mountainous terrain.
