ツール・ド・ふくしま2026

Tour de Fukushima is a citizen cycling race held in the Hamadori area and wider region of Fukushima Prefecture as part of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series. The series is presented as an international stage where amateur cyclists of all ages and genders can challenge themselves on equal terms, and it is regarded as an aspirational goal for riders around the world. This event is positioned as Japan's only qualifying race connected to the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Niseko, Hokkaido. Through the event, top finishers in the relevant age categories have the opportunity to earn qualification for that world championship stage. The race combines a regional Fukushima setting with the structure and significance of an internationally recognized gran fondo series, making it both a local cycling event and a pathway toward global amateur competition.
