第44回山日YBS富士吉田火祭りロードレース 2026

The Fujiyoshida Fire Festival Road Race takes place in late August in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, located at the base of Mt. Fuji. The event is centered at Fujihokuroku Park and Fujisan no Meisui Stadium, offering four race distances: 2.5 km, 5 km, 10 km, and a half marathon. Starts are staggered throughout the morning, beginning with the half marathon, then the 5 km, 2.5 km, and finally the 10 km races. The event proceeds regardless of rain, so participants should anticipate summer mountain weather conditions. The course highlights the natural surroundings of Mt. Fuji, with the mountain visible near the finish line on clear days. The shorter distances are suitable for families and novice runners, while the 10 km and half marathon provide a challenge for more experienced participants. This marks the 44th edition of the race, and organizers assist visitors with bus tours and lodging arrangements.
