Kaga Spa Trail Endurance 100 by UTMB Event Update
During this weekend’s Kaga Spa Trail Endurance 100 by UTMB, some runners were left disappointed as operational challenges impacted their race experience. On behalf of the entire Kaga Spa Trail Endurance 100 team, we deeply apologize that we did not deliver the first-class runner experience for all athletes that we strive for.
We acknowledge and take full responsibility for the operational challenges that occurred during the event, including some aid stations running low on supplies for runners, and extended wait times for transport back to the runner village. We did not live up to our own standards for creating a world-class running experience and we are deeply sorry that we let our runners down.
Our team is currently conducting a robust post-race review on how these operational issues happened and will immediately start working on improvement plans for next year’s event. We are committed to delivering races of the highest standard, and with our runners’ wellbeing our top priority.
Thank you for being part of the Kaga Spa Trail Endurance 100 by UTMB.

1,300 Years Old Heritage Hot Springs
Yamanaka Onsen is a hot spring resort with a history of 1,300 years.
Matsuo, Basho, who visited on the way to “Oku no Hosomichi,” also really liked it, and wrote the poem “Yamanaka and chrysanthemums smell like hand-folded hot water” (you can live a long time just by soaking in this bath).
Hot springs are smooth, and local people use them, so you can also experience unadorned humanity.
Soyu is called Kikunoyu, and the men's bath and women's bath are separate buildings and are built next to each other.
