[DEEP JAPAN ULTRA 100 Official Trial Camp with Kazuyuki Takahashi 2025/11/01-02, Event Report] On Saturday and Sunday, November 1st and 2nd, 2025, we welcomed 13 people to the "2025 Tournament Entry Qualification Granted!! DEEP JAPAN ULTRA 100 Official Trial Camp with Kazuyuki Takahashi" on the DEEP JAPAN ULTRA 100 course. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated, the Asakusa Sanso and Yottege Residence, and all those involved.
The stage was the actual course of the DEEP JAPAN ULTRA 100, produced by Matsunaga Hiroaki. Three courses with an elevation difference of over 1000m were prepared over the two days of the test run camp so that participants could simulate a global standard course designed to allow them to experience the rigors and excitement of an overseas race while remaining in Japan.
While running alongside Matsunaga Hiroaki, who actually set up the course in areas that would be difficult to test run alone, participants were given an explanation of the course and key points for completing the race. We also received advice from the first champion, Kazuyuki Takahashi, regarding course strategy and training methods for completing the race.
On both days,
Registration begins at 6:45
Start time is 7:00
Ends at 15:30 on the first day and 15:30 on the second day.
I think the participants were able to experience the profound worldview of DEEP JAPAN in the untouched nature.
"The weather, including the wind and rain, was DEEP. It was a great experience in preparation for the main event!"
"I didn't have enough ITRA points, so this trial run camp was a great help!"
“That's an amazing course! It's still too difficult for me next year, but I'll train hard and definitely want to participate someday!”
And another:
"I was inspired by being surrounded by such passionate colleagues. Thank you for the wonderful time!"
Everyone's faces after the event seemed to be filled with a sense of fulfillment.
About four years ago, in 2021, I was running around this area all alone to connect the course, and when I returned home, I would always tell my family, "Today was really DEEP." Now, being able to explore the same place with these companions feels like a strange and wonderful experience. As part of the National Mountainous Region Future Creation Project, we will contribute to the host communities throughout the year through these trial run camps. Trail Runners, which plans, produces, and operates these events, will continue to provide opportunities for more people to liberate themselves in nature and live a life that is more true to themselves.
