RACE MISSION

SELF-EXPLORATION
The ULTRA-TRAIL Mt. FUJI is not about winning or competing against others. The objective of this extraordinary 100mile trail journey around the perimeter of Mt. Fuji is to provide a challenge in which you can explore your physical and mental limits and discover new possibilities within yourself.
RESPECT FOR NATURE
Japan’s culture has always been deeply interconnected with nature. However, in recent times, people have started to lose sight of this important connection. This race aims to cultivate respect towards the natural environment through the outdoor sport of trail running.
SHARING THE TRAILS
These trails have been created over many years by the people who live, work and enjoy the mountains. This race aims to foster a mutual respect and understanding between these different users and help communicate and promote the sharing of these trails.
