第42回こまつクロスカントリー 2026

Komatsu Cross Country is a June running event in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, featuring short off-road-style distances within a park. The course passes two ponds fed by snowmelt from the Hakusan mountain range, placing the setting in local parkland rather than city streets. Runners can select a 3 km race, listed at approximately 3.4 km, or an 8 km race, listed at approximately 7.8 km. The event is open to healthy participants from elementary school age onward, with distinct men’s and women’s age categories from under 39 to 60-plus. The most unique offering is the 3 km time-prediction team race: three individuals, often family or friends, compete together aiming to match their predicted finish time without using a watch or phone. Teams must forecast a time under 50 minutes, and the race concludes at 60 minutes, after which participants are not timed or ranked. Standard finishers get record certificates, and the event provides luggage storage, vendors, sports injury insurance, and a participant lottery. Nearby hot-spring resorts like Awazu Onsen are included in local accommodation details, complementing the race's intimate regional atmosphere.
