We take a snapshot of the stylish people we found at the Ultra-Trail Mount Fuji!

We often hear that "many trail runners are fashionable," but is that true? We visited the site of one of Japan's largest trail running races, "ULTRA-TRAIL Mt. Fuji," to get a glimpse of the runners resting at aid stations during the race and the staff supporting the event operations from behind the scenes!

--What is your role in this year's tournament?

I am the sweeper from the start of FUJI to F1 Fujinomiya , and the aid leader for A8/K3 Nijyugyoku Pass.

--How involved are you with this tournament?

Since the first event in 2012, I have participated as an athlete and as an aid staff member, and I have continued to take part in the event in various forms.

--What's in the sack?

It contains the same essentials as the players, a First Aid Kit, and various other items.

--. - in the hand is a broom. Is it a broom because the word "sweeper" comes from "sweep"?

Yes . It's like a tradition among my friends. It was useful for international communication, as I was photographed by foreign players (laughs).
