7th Ono Komachi Road Race (第7回 小野こまちロードレース)

Experience the unique charm of the Ono Komachi Road Race, an exceptional event that offers runners a rare opportunity to compete on public roads. This race features two challenging distances: 100km and 50km. The first half of the course includes a parade through part of the town, followed by laps around meticulously planned routes using generous stretches of traffic-controlled public streets.
The course layout is designed with both beginners and seasoned runners in mind. While it boasts a relatively flat profile ideal for newcomers to ease into competitive road racing, it also presents strategic challenges that will test even the most experienced racers. Short hills are cleverly placed throughout, adding dynamic elements where attacks and team tactics can make or break your race.
Participants have access to detailed course maps via Ride with GPS (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/57012069?via=SG26JvAqih2MvFwbGwxcFA), allowing them to prepare their strategies and familiarize themselves with the terrain.
