カムイの杜トレイルラン2026

Kamui no Mori Trail Run is a trail running event based in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, created to introduce more runners to the appeal of running on trails. Its origins are tied to the organizers' earlier work with adventure racing and the Furano Trail Run. At a time when trail running events in Hokkaido were still uncommon and participation was limited, the event was launched in the organizers' local community as a way to help road runners discover the enjoyment of leaving paved roads and moving through natural terrain. The stated concept of the race is to serve as a first step for people who want to understand the fun of trail running. While Japan now has many long, overnight trail races, the organizers note that the trail running population is still small compared with road running, and this event is intended to broaden that base. The race emphasizes accessibility across experience levels, including beginners and children, while encouraging participants to build confidence for future challenges. The organizers also address the realities of holding a forest-based event in Hokkaido by highlighting awareness, preparedness, and personal responsibility in the outdoors. The event is presented not only as a competition, but as an entry point into the trail running community and a bridge to further races.
