This week with TTR: Squeaking by!

Hi friends,

Each season has its beauty and its challenges. As the sunny but hot summer comes to a close, autumn will bring nicer temperatures but the odd typhoon.

And that's what we're dealing with this week. According to forecasts, today's tropical storm should soon veer into the Ocean, leaving nice clear skies after itself by Saturday morning.

So far, we have confirmed a lovely local night run for Sunday night, but keep an eye on the page for other last-minute announcements!

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

DETAILS MAY CHANGE ACCORDING TO WEATHER CONDITIONS

Let's enjoy a fresh night-time run!

The route is 12 km long with 627 meters of climbing and 20% paved. There are no technical challenges, but be prepared for stairs and climbs.

From Takaosanguchi station we'll steadily climb through Trail 3. After reaching the summit of Mt. Takao, we will continue until Kobotoke-shiroyama.

We'll stop there for a quick break, before taking the way back through Takao's iconic Trail 1, with its shrines and vistas (but without the crowds!)
