[Dream Lesson] Report from Koshiji West Elementary School in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture

On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, as part of Trail Runners' SDGs project, the "National Mountain Region Future Building Project," we held a "Dream Lesson" at Koshiji West Elementary School in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, as a contribution to the local community around the venue of DEEP JAPAN ULTRA 100." The lesson taught students how to turn their passion into a job while remaining in their hometown.

This "Dream Lesson" was implemented as a model project for promoting entrepreneurship education in Niigata Prefecture. Overall producer Matsunaga Hiroaki served as lecturer.

The "Dream Class" was held during the first period. We began with a running clinic in the gymnasium, followed by a talk in which I discussed why I chose my current profession and the significance of taking on challenges; the session concluded with a Q&A, where I answered questions from both the students and the teachers.

Thanks to every one who include teachers, students and all.
