The race starts on Hirosaka-dori Street and ends at the Ishikawa Prefecture Seibu Ryokuchi Koen Park Athletics Stadium with a circuit-style course. The course will take runners pass Kanazawa Castle park and the famous Kenrokuen gardens with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Kanazawa’s charms and historic scenery.

Kanazawa was appointed into the “Crafts and Folk Art” category for UNESCO’s “Creative Cities Network” in 2009 and considerable architectural heritage has been preserved. Other notable attractions include Tsuzumimon, the main entrance to Kanazawa Station, the Oyama-jinja shrine and Kanazawa’s Myoryuji Temple or Ninja-dera (Ninja Temple). Participants should also try the local cuisine known as the traditional Kaga Cuisine.

The event is looking forward to a huge turnout from within and outside Japan and is capped at 12,000 participants.
