Sobre esta prova
The Taishakukyo Sukora Kogen Cross Country Race takes runners onto the mountain trails near Sukora Kogen in Jinsekikogen, Hiroshima Prefecture, during autumn. This is a small cross-country running event at Taishakukyo, offering 8 km, 5 km, and 3 km distances, with a total limit of 250 participants across all options.
The courses remain close to the plateau and traverse the nearby hills. The appeal lies in off-road running amidst autumn foliage and crisp highland air, distinct from a flat road race. Post-race, participants receive a gift, a barbecue lunch featuring domestic beef, and a ticket for Sukora Kogen's rock bath. This creates a distinctly local atmosphere: run, bathe, then enjoy the barbecue. Families are encouraged to attend, and registration is exclusively online.
