嬬恋スカイラン（SKYRUN）

At 1,400 meters around Palcall Tsumagoi Resort, this is mountain running with cooler air and highland winds even in summer. The setting has character: Japan's summer cabbage production capital, with Mount Asama and Mount Azumaya overlooking a course that stretches across vast cabbage fields. 嬬恋スカイラン (SKYRUN) spreads the challenge over two days: a vertical effort first, then a skyrace when your legs are already tested. Expect cool resort conditions, open highland views, and climbing that shifts focus from pace to the next ascent. The unique aspect is the cabbage-country setting, which seems unusual until the fields enhance the sense of mountain scale.
