The Ome Hills are the focus of this trail outing from RUNPOYA, the running and trail-running shop organizing it. It's designed for runners seeking their first experience on dirt trails without feeling overwhelmed. The guiding principles are "beginners welcome" and "for trail-running first-timers," with an accompanied format so newer runners can participate without feeling isolated or hurried.
Expect the pace to suit the terrain. On climbs, run when it feels sensible and walk when needed; on descents and flatter sections, the aim is to move deliberately and become accustomed to running in natural surroundings. The participants will likely be beginners and those curious about trail running, so the emphasis is less on racing intensely and more on understanding trail rhythm with guidance.
