Rules

• In this event, participants must traverse the designated mountain sections on foot as set by the organizer, while city (paved) sections may be chosen freely at the participant’s discretion. Please be sure to visit the monument at Otsu Port.
• Participants are free to decide their start time within the event period, but must finish within the event period.
• The start and end points, as well as the direction and route (including city areas), are at the participants’ discretion, as long as they satisfy the above condition. Any route changes in the city areas are permitted, provided that the entire journey remains continuous on foot.
• They must carry an IBUKI GPS device and share their log on the official event page.
• The submitted logs will be used to confirm passage along the course. The completion time will be recognized and published on the official website along with the participant’s ranking.
• Participants must choose one of the following styles and declare their category. The category may change during the event if necessary (e.g., receiving support along the way):
  • Support & Pacer Allowed: Participants may receive support or utilize pacers, relying on assistance from others.
  • No Support or Pacer: Participants do not rely on any external support or pacers.
• In all categories, participants may use vending machines or shops for resupply. Water replenishment is allowed anywhere.
• Participants must carry all equipment themselves, excluding food and drinks resupplied during the journey. However, they may exchange gear at shops or any location they choose.
• Participants may leave the course at any point and resume their challenge from any location later. In other words, as long as the entire course is traversed on foot during the event period, the order or direction of progress does not matter, and the challenge can be split into multiple segments—even returning home in between. They may use vehicles outside the official course, but must cover the designated route entirely on foot. If the challenge is conducted over multiple segments, the completion time is the elapsed time from the initial start to the final finish.
• Participants must recognize that the event area includes many sections with unclear paths, requiring solid route-finding skills. Safety should be the top priority, and they should always act with ample reserve.
• Participants are responsible for their own preparations and necessary measures for a multi-day trek, including selecting equipment, planning routes, arranging food supplies, submitting a climbing plan, and obtaining mountain insurance.
• This event is an individual challenge; while the organizer will monitor participants and respond in emergencies, there is no compensation for accidents. Participants must join with this understanding.
