About the Race

WHY RUN IT?

As a sister race to the UTMB, insane climbs are to be expected from the Ultra Trail Mt. Fuji. In fact, there’s over 24,500 feet of elevation gain to tackle as you circumnavigate the mountain, making it one of the most challenging events on the Ultra Trail World Tour.

“We all struggle to find meaning in a sometimes painful world.”

- Scott Jurek

After the race, there’s plenty to do in and around Fujikawaguchiko. Besides hanging out on the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, you can go hiking in Aokigahara forest, take a cable car up to striking panoramic views, and experience some of the world’s largest and fastest roller coasters at Fuji-Q Highland. If your legs have anything left in them, you can even climb iconic Mount Fuji to its summit. Just be prepared for a relentless, monotonous, and crowded way up. It’s a rite of passage worth adding to your bucket list, but not an experience you’re likely to repeat twice.
