第13回 利尻島一周悠遊覧人Ｇ
For a lot of people, after conquering(?) the marathon, the prospect of challenging even longer distances creeps into their warped minds. Often the next step up is a 50k. This run is 55.4k and offers an opportunity to take a step into the "ultra" world of long distance running. It's a run I've always wanted to do. Maybe this year is the year? However, it requires that you take a day or two off to accomplish it as it is out of the way and a bit hard to get to. If you can work out the logistics, it looks like a great run.
