Taking part in a trail run is a way to truly challenge both body and mind. From uneven terrain to ever-changing landscapes, these kind of events push physical limits while promoting resilience and endurance. The Hiroshima Wangan Trail Run is one such event, and takes place on a loop-style mountain trail adjacent to the city.
The 109 kilometer course has a cumulative altitude of approximately 6,900 meters, and participants run both day and night to try and reach the finish within the 34 hour time limit.
This is a pricier event, with the participation fee set at 38,000 yen – fees do go towards maintenance of the course, however. Entries open up on October 2nd, and more information about securing your spot can be found on the official website here.
