【Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium】 “The Hakuba Half” is coming!

THE HAKUBA HALF is more than just a race—it’s a weekend-long lifestyle running event that blends 20km (Half Marathon) and 5km courses with music, food, art, and community.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best in the 20km race, or a beginner/family looking to enjoy the 5km course, there is a place for everyone.

The start and finish lines are located at the iconic Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium, the site of Japan’s historic gold medal victory during the Nagano Olympics. Experience a breathtaking course that takes you from this legendary location through Hakuba’s stunning scenery, surrounded by the Northern Alps, cherry blossoms, and lingering spring snow.

After the race, stick around the stadium for our After-Race Festival featuring local food, live music, and art installations. It’s a space designed for you to relax and celebrate with fellow participants all day long.
