This race is all about having fun and not about setting a PR. This race is run in the small village of Obuse not far far from Nagano but this year was their 20th Anniversary. It was well organized, packet pick up was easy, even not speaking Japanese the assistance was great. The expo was very small but race morning the amount of people dressing in costumes was the most I’ve seen in the races I’ve run in Japan. The course takes you through the country side with small roads going through grape vineyards, apple orchards and many other fruit and vegetable fields. This race starts at 6 am but it was still Hot. There were so many stations on the course with water sports drinks, candies and I recall two different ones giving ice cream. At the finish there was a big water jets to cool off and then local fruit and vegetables all you could eat were provided. If I get the chance I will definitely run this one again.
