Komono Four Peaks Trail

Mt. Gozaisho, Mt. Shakagatake, Mt. Kamagake, and Mt. Kunimi define this race: a trail run across the main peaks rising from the Suzuka foothills. Komono Four Peaks Trail is built around the idea of "connecting the mountains and the region," and it sounds like the kind of day where the course matters more than any polish around it. Expect a hard course connecting scenic ridgelines, with plenty of climbing packed into the traverse from peak to peak. This is one for runners who like their races exposed, rough underfoot, and honest about the work required; the reward is moving along those ridges rather than just looking up at them from below.
