2026 中部電力 MIRAI TOWER ステアクライミングチャレンジ 名古屋大会

The Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER Stair Climbing Challenge Nagoya is a stair-climbing time trial held at Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER and Hisaya-odori Park in central Nagoya. The event uses the tower’s outdoor stairway as its race course, giving participants a direct urban climbing challenge in one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Runners start at fixed intervals, with individual athletes, parent-child pairs, students, teams, and general participants competing in their respective categories. The format emphasizes personal effort, climbing strength, pacing, and the ability to sustain speed on stairs rather than a mass-start road race style. The venue is located in the Sakae and Hisaya-odori area, with access by subway, city bus, and the Nagoya sightseeing route bus, making it a highly visible city-center sporting event. The official event information also lists guest supporters and athletes connected with running, entertainment, and stair-climbing, reinforcing the race’s character as both a competitive challenge and a public sports event. It is presented as part of Japan’s top stair-climbing circuit race scene under the Japan Skyrunning Association context.
