OSJ ONTAKE50

Nestled at the foot of revered Mount Myoko (elevation 3,067 meters), this race takes place within a vast expanse of pristine national forest that typically remains off-limits to visitors. Participants will have exclusive access to rugged, unsealed forest roads as they traverse through dense woodland and across rocky terrain.
The event offers two distance options: the longer course covers challenging trails winding up and down steep inclines, while the shorter route maintains a scenic yet less strenuous path through the heart of the forest. Both courses culminate in an unforgettable finish line experience that leaves runners breathless with awe.
Entry fees include commemorative gifts, liability insurance, and parking for all participants. For adults, registration costs ¥9000 for the long course and ¥8000 for the middle distance; high school students or younger pay half-price at ¥4500 and ¥4000 respectively. Please note that once registered, refunds will not be issued.
This race is more than just a run through nature—it's an exclusive journey into one of Japan’s most sacred landscapes where every step reveals the beauty and power of untouched wilderness.
Participants are invited to immerse themselves in this unique setting, breathing in crisp mountain air as they navigate winding paths lined with towering trees. The unspoiled natural environment provides a serene backdrop for runners who will be challenged by varied terrain but rewarded with panoramic views that make every moment worthwhile.
As the race concludes, runners are treated to an emotional finale against the majestic backdrop of Mount Myoko, creating memories that extend far beyond the finish line.
This event is not just about crossing distances; it’s a celebration of nature and personal achievement in one of Japan's most revered natural settings.
