​It's November
Tokyo’s November and December weather brings crisp, cool air—perfect for exploring the trails. Recent guests include Kgomotso, a 22-year-old tackling his first 100-miler at Runyanga in the Eastern Highlands in Zimbabwe and Jack Adams, who ran across Japan. With even more incredible stories coming soon, there’s plenty to get excited about!
As the weather gets colder and the days shorter, remember to:
-
Dress in layers to stay warm but avoid overheating.
-
Carry a headlamp or flashlight as the sun sets earlier.
-
Pack extra water and snacks to stay fueled on longer runs.
-
Always let someone know your route and expected return time.

Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Trails in Motion screening in September! The event was hosted at Takao52 in Hachioji, a fantastic runner-friendly space.
We were thrilled to co-host the evening with Kiyo Fujishiro, editor of the Japanese edition of Trails in Motion, and Tomokazu Ihara, a seasoned ultrarunner who, as of this November, is on his 76th out of 100 100-milers in his incredible quest to run 100 miles 100 times.
Your support made this event a success, and we look forward to more memorable gatherings in the future!
