The race starts and finishes inside ECOPA Stadium at Ogasayama Sports Park, one of Japan's largest stadiums, and sends runners out into the rich natural surroundings of Mount Ogasayama. The course is known for its refreshing, open feel, and finishing onto the stadium's natural turf beneath a giant video screen is the moment most runners remember. Changing rooms and showers are available on site, and the nearest station, Aino Station, is about a 15-minute walk from the venue. Age-group winners take home Crown Melons and other celebrated Fukuroi sweets.
