O wyścigu
RTG5 Summer Battle is a summer trail-running and rogaining event held at Sumiyoshi Park in Higashinada Ward, Kobe, utilizing the Rokko mountain range. Runners begin in the morning and have eight hours to complete the course. Participants can select between RTG3 and RTG5: the RTG3 covers approximately 24 km with 1,355 m of elevation gain, and the RTG5 covers approximately 33 km with 2,115 m of elevation gain. Both courses direct participants to Rokko Geihinkan and a specified number of checkpoints, with some secret checkpoints announced shortly before the event.
The race does not follow a fixed course. Participants determine their own routes and the order of checkpoints. Strong legs are beneficial, but navigation skills, mountain judgment, and strategic planning are also important. Runners can participate individually or in teams. The event welcomes both novice and experienced runners, with an expected participation of a few hundred people. RTT Rokko Tokimeki Tankentai organizes the event to showcase areas of Mt. Rokko outside the typical routes. This edition is co-hosted with Fukakita Otoko Juku. The start and finish are located near JR Sumiyoshi and Hanshin Mikage stations. After the race, participants are directed to Uhara no Yu for a bath.
