第4回 エンジョイ♪あじゃらトレイルランニング 2026

Ajara Trail Running utilizes the mountain bike course established for the Enjoy! Ajara Charity Festival, located in the former Ajara Highland area of Owani Onsen Ski Resort. This event takes place annually in September, featuring a trail run on a short, steep loop instead of an extended mountain course. A beginner-friendly Enjoy! 1-Lap Division is offered for individuals new to trail running. Each lap covers approximately 3 km, with the terrain divided about equally between uphill and downhill sections, leading to a rapid increase in exertion despite the short distance. Participants have the option to pause and observe their surroundings, compete for speed, or use the course for training leading up to autumn marathons and subsequent races. The event also promotes year-round utilization of the former ski resort area, and its aid station is accessible to all visitors, not exclusively to race participants. Organizers encourage attendees to bring their own cups to minimize waste, with a limited supply of paper cups provided. In instances of extreme heat, with temperatures reaching 35°C or above, the race schedule may be adjusted to ensure participant safety.
