The Great Snow Mountain Trail Journey is...
The first tournament was organized by Fields Co., Ltd. in Chiba Prefecture more than 10 years ago. It is a mid-distance race with many hills and mountains. Initially, it lasted for two days, and there was a period when the second day began in Kamikawa Town and ended at the shore of Lake Chubetsu Hu in Higashikawa Town. We have experimented with different formats and now we have four categories of competition: 60k, 40k, 15k, and kids. Hokkaido is rich in nature, but in reality, there are hardly any old paths that common people used to walk on in the past. There are only forest roads built by the government and roads made by ski resort development. Even though they are 1800m-class mountains, the mountains of Hokkaido can be so harsh that sometimes it is necessary to descend even in midsummer. It is wonderful when the weather is sunny, but it is challenging when it is bad. However, the course deserves to be called an adventure, and finishing the race is a tremendous feeling.

Precautions in mountainous sections
There is a walking section
As you climb the Hirayama Mountain Trail, there is a specific section from the Hirayama Branch to the Ninosawa Ridgeline, where precious alpine plants flourish in groups. Sometimes the trail is not obvious and running carelessly can harm the alpine plants. Therefore, this section is a “walking section” that forbids running. There are monitoring staff on duty at all times, so please make sure to walk.
Adverse weather conditions
There is a possibility of major changes to the course
Even if the race itself can go on in spite of bad weather, it may be hard to cross the mountainous area due to storms, gas, and mud flows depending on the location. In that case, please be aware that some courses may be altered. Before the start of the tournament, the staff will check the weather at the Hirayama branch, which is the most critical area, and will inform you of any changes before the start of the tournament. Like rain, if the wind speed is more than 15 meters, there is a definite risk of hypothermia.
Essentials
(1) Bibs and timing chips distributed at the reception
(2) Fluids and supplementary food
(3) Mobile phone (a model that can be sufficiently charged and receive SMS without hiding the number)
(4) My cup (paper cups are not available at each aid station)
(5) Rainwear (hooded jacket made of waterproof and breathable
material and seams waterproofed with seam tape) both top and bottom will be mandatory.
-
There is no damage or significant wear, and it has sufficient functions. (6) Poles There is a check of rainwear, etc. Athletes who do not bring their own or who bring non-rainwear will not be allowed to participate in the race To find out why you need the essentials, try searching YouTube for the name of the tournament Last year, muddy water gushed out of the ridge road in the second half and the road became a swamp, and it was quite hard to run without poles. In addition, on the route that was canceled last year, it was cold even if the staff wore down jackets, and the staff almost got hypothermia during another competition. Even though it is summer, the mountains of Hokkaido are harsh.
