Course Map
The longest route of the event, the 100km course is a hill-climb challenge that takes on one of the Keichiku area’s toughest sections: Hokotate Pass.
Ride across the Kitakyushu Airport Access Bridge, soak in the beautiful scenery at Metase-no-Mori, and then face Hokotate Pass waiting in the middle of the course. Stretching about 4km with 560m of elevation gain from base to summit, it’s a course profile that offers plenty of riding to sink your teeth into!
With five well-stocked aid stations along the way, you’re in for a thoroughly satisfying day.
