Why You Should Visit

A winter road race around Rokko Island. Alongside the 10km, 5km and 3km, there are 1.8km for elementary schoolers, a 1.2km parent-and-child pair and a 1.2km costume run — serious runners and families share the same morning. Being a man-made island, the course is flat with no traffic lights, so the sea breeze is what decides your time. Entries run from 17 August to 16 November 2026.
