The 10th Round-Yakushima Ultra ECO Maranic 2027

About this event

The Round-Yakushima Ultra ECO Maranic 2027 is a challenging ultramarathon event where participants run while fully immersing themselves in the rich nature of Yakushima. About 20% of the course is set on the Seibu Rindo forest path within the World Natural Heritage area, where runners passing through the beautiful evergreen broad-leaved forest may encounter wildlife endemic to Yakushima, such as Yaku deer and Yaku monkeys, both designated as National Special Natural Monuments. This event is not merely a race, but offers an opportunity to experience Yakushima's grand natural scenery firsthand and reaffirm the importance of its preservation. Participants will be able to challenge their limits in Yakushima's majestic nature and gain an unforgettable experience. Finishers are scheduled to receive a Yakusugi cedar finisher's medal for the 100km division, and a Yakusugi cedar bookmark for the 55km and 26km divisions. In addition, the official LINE account will be used as a communication channel for the event to ensure smooth information sharing with participants. This event will be an exceptional opportunity for nature lovers and runners to experience the full appeal of Yakushima.
