This week with TTR: Races, races, races!

Hi friends,

Races are definitely the topic of the moment with TTR!

First of all, TTR's own Okumusashi long trail. The race will be held this year on June 14-15. Here is the volunteer form for race day and for course marking in the weeks before. The Hanno community, the participants, and of course TTR greatly appreciate your help!

The adorable Matsudai-Harunojin race in Niigata is also looking for volunteers for the course maintenance – cleaning up the trails and getting it ready for the race day! You will be offered 50% off accommodation with breakfast by the organizers if you stayed on Saturday night. Of course, you are welcome to join on either day. May 10-11, 17-18 and 24-25. Full details here.

As for the actual racing itself, this Saturday we're experimenting with an event squarely focused on training, just 35 minutes by train from Shinjuku. The race is on 😆

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