Takeda-no-Mori Park Trail Run

The Takeda-no-Mori Park Trail Run is a course that mainly follows the Takeda-no-Mori Park Walking Path, which goes through the forests to the north of Kofu City, including Kofu Natural Recreation Forest and Kenko-no-Mori. It passes by historic sites associated with the Takeda clan, such as Takeda-jinja Shrine and Mt. Yogai, and nature parks where it is possible to look out at the Kofu Basin surrounded by Mt. Fuji and the Minami Alps. The finish line is inside Takeda-no-Mori Park. This is a course set in a semi-natural area with an elevation of 320 m to 800 m, and it has gentle ups and downs so can be enjoyed by runners of all levels, from beginner to advanced.

Key point

It is possible to see Mt. Fuji and the mountains of the Minami Alps while running this course.

Strategy

The course goes upward from the starting point to Mt. Yogai (elevation 770 m) across a distance of 7 km to 8 km, so it is important to avoid going too fast at the beginning. Later on there is a path with gentle ups and downs that is easy to run on, and here it is possible to run while enjoying the forest air and surrounding scenery.
