I have participated in this event for the past three years. It is a small event but fun.
The race starts in Honbetsu Park on the grass. You run a loop or two around a big open field and then through the back end of the park and then quickly out onto the road. There is no traffic on the road and it takes you uphill to the camping and BBQ areas which is a short but steep hill climb. After that it is back down the hill to the finish with one small uphill right at the end before entering the park again for a sprint to the finish on the grass.

The organizers are participating in the "my safety pin" movement. If you bring your own safety pins you can use them and decline the pins that the organizers have ready.

Limited information is included in the calendar entries. For more information, leave a comment. I try to post the deadlines for the races. The place where the race is held is also included. You can see where it is by clicking on the map link.
