We are delighted to see so many returning teams from 2023, and welcome so many first time participants. The 2025 race is suited both to those who are relatively new to adventure races and to those hardened athletes amongst you who are raring for a new challenge.
The race will take you along the Izu Peninsula, through the UNESCO Geopark area. The terrain is gently undulating in areas with some short steep ascents and descents via mountain and forest trails. Spectacular views of one of the world’s most painted mountains can be seen from several points along the challenge.
On Day 2 a Rogaining course has been designed to test your teamwork, innovation, and analytical skills. Rogaining is an orienteering sport involving route planning and navigation between checkpoints. In a rogaine, teams will choose which checkpoints to visit with the idea of gaining the most number of points within the quickest time.
Your performance during both days, together with your team fundraising, will be factored in to determine an overall event winner. So do not despair if you are not the fastest team, there are other ways to be a winning trio!
