Sobre esta prova
The Sakudaira Half Marathon takes place in Shinshu Saku. The start line is a five-minute walk from Sakudaira Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen. In addition to the half marathon, the event offers 5 km and 1-mile races, suitable for participants who prefer a shorter distance while still enjoying the location.
The course follows old Nakasendo post-town roads before heading into Saku's open countryside, passing Gorobei Shinden. Participants will see mountains like Mt. Asama and the Yatsugatake range. The event incorporates a local pop-culture element through a partnership with the manga Fist of the North Star. Guest runners are also present, offering attendees opportunities to meet and engage with them during the event.
