札幌30K 2026

Sapporo 30K is a 30-kilometer training race held in Moerenuma Park, Sapporo, Hokkaido, designed for runners preparing for a larger goal race. It belongs to the Runners 30K Series, a collection of practical trial races connected to major full marathons across Japan, occurring just before runners enter their final preparation phase. The concept is straightforward: complete 30K with timing, aid stations, and pacemakers, then use the outcome to assess if your pace, fitness, and marathon objective remain aligned. The R.B. Sports Foundation organizes the event, with co-organization by the Hokkaido Shimbun. The course is situated within Moerenuma Park, providing runners a controlled long-run environment instead of a city marathon atmosphere. Aid stations are positioned every 2.5 kilometers, offering drinking water and overhead misters for cooling. Pacemakers assist participants in maintaining a consistent rhythm throughout the distance. It attracts runners seeking a serious rehearsal before a full marathon, particularly those aiming for the Hokkaido Marathon. The race also allows limited last-minute entry, even on race day morning; however, late registrants might be listed under a placeholder name on official records and related services.
