苗場クロスカントリーハーフマラソン ～Naeba 2026

The Naeba Cross Country Half Marathon is a 21K trail race in Niigata Prefecture, held near the Naeba Prince Hotel Campground in September. It features a specially prepared cross-country course in the Naeba area, differing from a standard point-to-point road half marathon. The course is designed as a 2 km loop, requiring runners to complete multiple laps. This loop format, combined with the campground location, gives the event a feel more akin to a cross-country meet than a typical city half marathon, with the terrain and the rhythm of repeated laps contributing significantly to the experience.
