This week with TTR: Nature doesn't care 😅

Hi friends,

Nature really doesn't care for plans, isn't it? As much as it is convenient to schedule events weeks and months in advance, sometimes the weather decides for us.

This weather isn't fit for a picnic, so we had to cancel a large run in Kagenobu for it. But we will have an adventurous run in Okutama instead and maybe more next week.

Thank you for your patience: nature is unpredictable (but that's part of the fun!)

Keep following our newsletter and our Facebook page for more announcements and updates.

Let's enjoy a fun snowy run! We will start in Hatonosu station at 8.40 and end in Hanno station around 15.00. This Upper intermediate course is 20km long, with an elevation gain of 1360 m, and is open to 15 participants.

Will there be snow left in the mountains around Tokyo by this weekend? Let's find out.
Meet us at Hatonosu station at 8:40, from where we will do the strenuous but pretty climb towards Mount Kawanori (1,360 m). Depending on weather during the rest of the week, we might have quite some snow above 1,000 m or so, so be prepared for it. From Kawanori, we will enjoy a fun, and perhaps snowy, ridge run until Bonomine, from where we will descend towards Sawarabi no yu onsen (https://sawarabino-yu.jp/) - buses run to Hanno station from there.

Total distance will be around 20 km, with quite a lot of elevation gain for that distance. We will keep a moderate pace.

Start and finish are far apart, please carry all your belongings with you.

Please carry appropriate clothes for running in the mountains in winter, sufficient food, and at least one liter of water. Light crampons (chain spikes) are mandatory - please contact a guide if you don't have a pair.

This run will be led by Carlos and Alain.
