Entry period

Entries accepted via the official website until one week before the race, or until the total cap of 500 participants is reached.

On race day

Notes

In-person bib pickup on race day is mandatory, which may be a significant hurdle for overseas runners travelling to Sapporo. No overseas-specific entry instructions are provided on the page.
