O tomto preteku
The Michinoku Tsugaru Journey Run is an ultra-distance race series held in Aomori Prefecture, located at the northern tip of Japan's main island. It takes place in July and offers three distances: 260K, 177K, and 83K. Even the shortest option exceeds a standard ultramarathon. Aomori City is indicated as the start area, with a 15:00 start time for all race distances.
The event, now in its tenth edition, is organized by Sports Aid Japan. Listings place the longer routes near Hirosaki City and Sotogahama Town. The 262K and 177K races begin at Hirosaki City General Learning Center, while the shorter route starts at Kanita Community Center, though published distances show minor variations. Essentially, this is a northern Japan journey run focused on extended road distances, not a single-city marathon.
