Let's enjoy long distances on runnable hills! We will start in Musashi Itsukaichi station at 8.00 and end in Sagamiko station around 16.00. This Upper intermediate course is 40km long, with an elevation gain of 2800 m, and is open to 15 participants.

Meet us at Musashi Itsukaichi at 8:00, from where we will steadily climb towards Hinode-san along the very runnable Konpira ridge. We will continue enjoying runnable single track bonanza towards Mitake and Oodake-san, after which we'll drop down to Akigawa valley, along a steep trail that will take us along a few waterfalls - will anyone brave the winter and dare to temper their spirit under the water? From Hinohara village, we'll continue South towards Jimba-san, along a forestry ridge not devoid of a tiring repetition of pointless ups and downs. After the mandatory pictures with the horse on the summit, we will descend to Sagamiko station.We will keep a steady pace, aiming to jog the runnable uphills. If you are unsure whether you can keep the pace, please contact the organiser. There are plenty of options to drop out in case you get too tired: from Hinode (10 km, 770 m+) you can go to Tsurutsuru onsen, from Mitake (13 km, 900 m+) you can run down the trails or take the cablecar, or from Hinohara village (22 km, 1450 m+) you can take the bus towards Musashi Itsukaichi. If you stick until the end, it will be about 40 km with 2,800 m of elevation gain.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.
