About the Event

Experience the serene beauty of rural Japan at the Shiraue Rice Fields Run, where golden rice stalks sway gently under the autumn sun. This picturesque race offers runners an opportunity to immerse themselves in the tranquil landscape and natural surroundings of Shiraue while enjoying a challenging course that showcases both scenic vistas and varied terrain.
Competitors can choose between two distances: a half marathon or 10 kilometers, each offering age-group awards for participants looking to highlight their performance. The race is designed not only to test runners' endurance but also to celebrate the rich agricultural heritage of Shiraue through its stunning backdrop of ripening rice paddies and lush greenery.
In addition to recognizing individual achievements with age-based prizes, the event offers a range of attractive souvenirs that capture the essence of Shiraue. These gifts are an excellent reminder of the race's unique setting and cultural significance for all participants.
Entry fees vary depending on your category: 3000 yen for general adult runners in both distances; 2000 yen for those participating in the shorter course, including high school students; and a more affordable rate of 1000 yen for junior middle school athletes. The Shiraue Rice Fields Run promises an unforgettable experience that blends athletic competition with appreciation for nature's bounty.
Join us to explore the beauty and spirit of rural Japan through this unique running event.
