Second Traclocross Upper Kamayama Race (第二回 トラクロ上山田（Traclocross）)

Experience the thrill of Trakro, an exhilarating off-road cycling discipline that originated on New York City streets and gained international recognition when it hosted world championships in Japan in 2019. This unique competition will take place in Chikumashi, Nagano Prefecture.
Trakro is a distinctive form of racing where participants use fixed-gear track bikes—bikes without brakes—to navigate challenging dirt courses. The sport demands exceptional skill and judgment as riders must control their speed through precise pedaling techniques and skidding maneuvers that lock the rear wheel to decelerate or change direction.
Set against the scenic backdrop of Chikumashi, this event promises an adrenaline-fueled day for competitors and spectators alike. With its emphasis on raw talent and technical prowess over complex equipment, Trakro showcases the pure essence of cycling as a test of human ability.
Competitors will face rugged terrain that challenges their physical endurance and mental acuity, making it a spectacle not to be missed by fans of extreme sports and cycling enthusiasts alike. The simplicity of using only fixed-gear track bikes underscores the importance of rider skill and strategic thinking in mastering this demanding course.
