Shikaoi Trail Run

Just the other day I got word of yet another Trail race. This time in Shikaoi.

The first ever Shikaoi Trail Run (第一回しかおいトレイルラン)will be held on November 3rd.

The application deadline was extended from 10/15 to 10/20 and I heard about it on 10/19 and sent in my application on 10/20. So I HOPE I got applied for it.

It is a out and back course on a trail used for horse trekking and involves 3 river crossings. But from what I read over at Ogaman's blog, the rivers are really only trickles of water ankle deep. Sounds fun!

I have put it on my calendar and will be sure to look out for it for next year so you apply for and run in the 2nd Shikaoi Trail Run, if there is one.

The race is held at the Nishikami Kanko Noen, which looks like a "tourist" farm? I'm not sure how to translate it but I know what it is.

Date: November 3rd (Culture Day)
Deadline: 10/15
Start: 9:30 start (8:30 opening ceremony)
Contact: (as of 10/2010 Ide Kenichi?(Tel 0156-67-2903)
Put on by the Sogogata Chiiki Sports Club Wakko (総合型地域スポーツクラブわっこ )

The locals really welcome the runners and you'll enjoy their warm reception as you pass through fields where dairy cattle graze and giant rolls of hay give messages to cheer the runners on. Plus, you get a giant towel and a salmon when you finish the full marathon!

Hokkaido - Tokachi Trail Running cancelled

The event held in Shimizu at the Tokachi Sen'nen no Mori (十勝千年の森) was canceled for this year and will be held
again next year. The course takes you on roads that run through forests and fields
used for dairy cattle. The race was canceled to prevent the spread of
hoof and mo...uth disease which doesn't infect humans, but which humans can spread "by carrying the germs on their clothes and body." (Wikipedia)

Here is a capture of the newspaper article announcing the cancellation.

Today's Training

今日は10kmを走りました。ずっと片付けなきゃいけない仕事があったので走っていません。でも昨日の夜は一段落ができたので、今朝はご褒美ランとして走りました。気持ちよかった。でもちょっと寝坊したので、ラン後自宅に帰るのがちょっと遅かったので、出勤するのもギリギリでした。
