全日本自転車競技選手権大会－XCC/XCO 2026

Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, hosts Japan’s national mountain bike championships for XCC (short-track) and XCO (Olympic cross-country) formats. This summer championship, held under the All Japan Bicycle Competition Championships title, is for licensed competitors, not casual riders. All main race entrants require Japan Cycling Federation athlete registration; organizers advise allowing several business days for this process. The public information emphasizes race administration over course details, but the formats indicate key aspects: XCC is a rapid, condensed race, while XCO involves longer cross-country circuits with multiple laps and technical sections. Event materials provide distinct technical guides for the championship races and an exhibition race, structuring the weekend around multiple riding categories. A trial ride session was also scheduled before the championships, allowing registered participants to familiarize themselves with the venue.
