第9回 能勢妙見山パワートレイルラン2026

The Nose Myokenzan Power Trail Run is a trail running event set in the Nose and Toyono area near Osaka, a region known for some of Japan's most beautiful satoyama landscapes. Although close to the city, the area offers a rich natural setting where runners can enjoy wooded hills, rural scenery, and the lingering colors of the season. The event highlights the character of the local countryside, combining accessible Kansai-area terrain with a course that passes through places associated with history, faith, and community life. A defining feature of the race is its route around spiritual and cultural sites. Runners encounter Nose Myokenzan, one of the leading Nichiren Buddhist sacred sites in the Kansai region, along with places such as Kodaiji Temple, Yoshikawa Hachiman Shrine, and Hontakiji Temple. These landmarks give the event a distinctive identity beyond a simple mountain run, connecting the physical challenge of trail running with the atmosphere of old pilgrimage routes, village paths, and forested hills. The race is organized by the Nose and Toyono Trail Run Executive Committee, with Actrep handling planning and operations. Its appeal lies in the balance between natural beauty, regional heritage, and the welcoming scale of a satoyama event. Participants can experience a compact but varied mountain environment, enjoy the cultural texture of northern Osaka, and take part in an event designed to showcase and support the local area.
