■15km Course (Time Limit: 2h30m)

This course goes beyond Tsutsumigaura, taking you deeper into Miyajima.
While parts of the route are challenging and demanding, it offers a truly rewarding running experience. Encourage fellow runners as you pass each other, and enjoy encounters with deer, cherry blossoms, and stunning ocean views along the way.
It’s a rare chance to experience a side of Miyajima that most visitors never see.

■5k Course (Time Limit: 1h20m)

This out-and-back course runs between Miyajima Gakuen and Tsutsumigaura.
With gentle rolling hills, it offers an enjoyable run surrounded by cherry blossoms and friendly deer along the way.
Compared to the 15km course, this route is less demanding, making it a great choice for beginner runners or those looking for a relaxed and scenic race experience.
