Echigo Country Trail 2026 Results Now Available NEW
Thanks to all of you, Echigo Country Trail 2026 was successfully held and completed safely.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all runners who traveled from across Japan and around the world to join us, as well as to the volunteers, staff members, and local residents who helped make this event possible.
This year, 639 runners took part in the race. We were especially delighted to welcome more international participants than ever before. For our small town of Oguni, with a population of fewer than 4,000 people, it was truly wonderful to welcome so many visitors from across Japan and around the world.
As forecast, race day was hot and challenging. We hope that despite the heat, you enjoyed the beautiful countryside of Echigo and had a memorable experience with us.
The official race results are now available.
