The longest course of the event, at 110km, is a hill climb course that takes on the challenge of Hokotate Pass, a difficult spot in the Keichiku area.
After riding over the Kitakyushu Airport Link Bridge and soaking in the beautiful scenery of Nagaihama and Metase Forest, Hokotate Pass awaits in the middle of the course. With a distance of approximately 4km and an elevation gain of 560m from the base to the summit, this course is extremely challenging! With no way to escape, this is the perfect course for cyclists seeking a sense of accomplishment from reaching the top of the pass.
