TRAIL RUNNERS CUP KUSHIGATA 2024

31km 当大会のメインレース。日本一小さな山脈、櫛形山脈のほぼ全域をカバー。その稜線を往復する。 稜線なので走りやすいと思いきや、櫛形（くしがた）という名の通り、ギザギザのアップダウンをひたすら繰り返す。登りの技術、下りの技術、スタミナ、スピードなど総合力が求められる。 31㎞の内、6.3㎞は舗装道路。従って実質25㎞で累積約2000m。 最初の約2㎞は舗装道路。その後山岳区間。まずは白鳥山でウォーミングアップ。ただ斜度は中々急で大きな階段多数。一度農道に出て第一エイド羽黒駐車場で一息つきここからがいよいよ櫛形山脈の核心。まずは稜線まで岩場を含む登りを進み、稜線に出たかと思えば、ひたすらアップダウンを繰り返す。初めてであればその無数のアップダウンに翻弄されること確実。メンタルを削られるコース。なんとか乗り越えたら最後はもちろん、ロード。微かに登り基調。これでトドメ。 ウィンド（風）トレイル、ところで、風はどこ？ 暑ければ、速く走って自分で風を起こして！櫛形ウィンドトレイル。

31km The main race of this tournament. Covers almost the entire area of ​​the Kushigata Mountains, the smallest mountain range in Japan. It goes back and forth along the ridgeline. I think it's easy to run because it's a ridgeline, but as the name suggests, it repeats jagged ups and downs. Comprehensive skills such as climbing technique, descending technique, stamina, and speed are required. Of the 31 km, 6.3 km is a paved road. Therefore, the cumulative total is about 2000m at 25km. The first about 2 km is a paved road. Then the mountain section. First, warm up at Mt. Shiratori. However, the slope is steep and there are many large stairs. Once on the farm road, take a break at the first aid Haguro parking lot, and from here it is finally the core of the comb-shaped mountains. First of all, go up to the ridgeline including the rocky area, and if you think that you have reached the ridgeline, repeat the ups and downs. If this is your first time, you will surely be at the mercy of the countless ups and downs. A course where you can sharpen your mentality. If you manage to get over it, of course, the road will be the last. A slight climbing tone. This is todome. Wind trail, by the way, where is the wind? If it's hot, run fast and create your own wind! Comb wind trail.
