Why not take a run through the Tategamori Plateau in the crisp winter air with friends, family, or in your own style?
The 12th Tategamori Gottsuo Marathon will be held on Sunday, February 7th, 2027!
The "Tategamori Gottsuo Marathon" is a friendly and welcoming event that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or running ability. From serious runners aiming for their best times to runners who come along in costumes to liven up the venue, families running hand in hand, and energetic children. In past races, costumed runners have appeared in a variety of outfits, adding excitement to the cheering along the course and filling the venue with smiles. Whether you're seriously challenging yourself to beat your time, running for fun with friends, or participating in your favorite costume, you're more than welcome!
The course takes place on the wintery Tategamori Plateau, offering stunning views of the Ou Mountains. With a maximum length of 11.5km and a maximum elevation difference of approximately 200m, the varied terrain provides a challenging and rewarding run. We offer 11.5km, 5km, and 2.5km races. In addition to general and senior categories, we also have categories for junior high school students, elementary school students and younger, and parent-child races, so everyone from competitive runners to those participating in a marathon for the first time can find a race that suits their goals.
And the Tategamori Gottsuo Marathon doesn't end when you cross the finish line.
After the run, there's a delicious feast waiting for you!
We will be preparing an original gourmet lunch for all participants, featuring dishes that showcase the unique characteristics of each facility at Ecole Tategamori. In addition, we plan to offer a selection of souvenirs from the Tategamori area, a 300 yen shopping voucher usable at each facility, and complimentary pork miso soup and locally produced apple juice. A warm bowl of pork miso soup and a delicious lunch after a hard run will be especially enjoyable. We hope you will fully enjoy not only the fun of running, but also the unique flavors of Tategamori and the warm hospitality.
A winter day where everyone, from runners to spectators, can smile.
Whether you want to challenge a new record, create lasting memories with your family, or simply have a fun time with friends, come to Tategamori Plateau! The capacity is 345 people. Once the capacity is reached, registration will close even if it's still within the application period, so please register early if you wish to participate.
