The race routes started at Cape Soya and finishes in the city of Wakkanai. The runners were bussed from Wakkanai to the start which started at 0900 and the course appears flat but running the race felt mostly upward. The weather was windy and hot with a cutoff time of 6 hours. The finish area was in Wakkanai at Port Kita Bohatei Dome. Along the course the crowd support is small yet the aid stations were plentiful. This is a small race but comfortable without large crowds.
