Reward Run: Ikomayama Panoramic Run & Night Hike 18km! Curry Buffet Social Event (【ご褒美ラン】生駒山絶景ラン＆プチナイトハイク18km！カレービュッフェ交流会)

Join us for an unforgettable evening of running and dining at the scenic Mount Ikom, located just outside Osaka. This unique 18km route offers runners both paved roads and challenging steep ascents that will test your limits while providing stunning views throughout.
The event begins near Kintetsu Ikoma Station where participants board a cable car to reach the mountain's midsection before embarking on their run. The course features plenty of well-maintained asphalt, making it accessible for runners of various skill levels, but don't be fooled—there are some steep climbs that will push you.
After completing your run, gather with fellow athletes at an outdoor seating area illuminated by soft lights to enjoy a hearty and authentic Sri Lankan curry dinner. The meal is included in the event fee, which typically costs around 4,000 yen (cash only; additional alcohol charges apply). Participants can savor this delicious feast while sharing stories of their runs over the past few hours.
The evening continues with a night hike back down to Kintetsu Ikoma Station along well-lit paths. This section is approximately 3.2 kilometers and takes about 50 minutes on foot, offering runners the chance to unwind after dinner in an easy-paced walk through scenic terrain under moonlight or street lamps.
To ensure safety during your descent, please bring a headlamp or flashlight as visibility may be limited once darkness falls fully. The event is ideal for those new to trail running who want to experience mountain paths safely and enjoyably, seasoned marathon runners looking for the thrill of natural landscapes, and anyone feeling uncertain about tackling trails alone but eager to join a supportive group.
This special evening promises not only physical challenge but also camaraderie and culinary delights amidst one of Japan's most picturesque settings. Don't miss out on this unique blend of exercise, adventure, and cultural experience!
