I participated in the 62km division of the 34th Challenge Fuji Five Lakes Ultramarathon. Last year I attempted the 100km division and managed to finish just in time, but this year I entered the 62km division. I made full use of the time limit and was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji and the lake to the fullest. This is an ultramarathon race record that conveys the charm of a course filled with spectacular views and hospitality. Please enjoy to find out what drama awaits this year. This may be the perfect course to take the first step for runners considering taking on an ultramarathon.
