Great Earth Miyazaki Nichinan Ride
Come ride with us along the Nichinan Coast of Miyazaki Prefecture! Enjoy a day out on two wheels as you pedal along the coastline and climb mountains made famous in Japanese mythology.
This isn’t a race so make sure to spend some time sampling local delicacies and snacking at the food aid stations. Don’t forget that the southern prefectures enjoy milder temperatures – take a spin outdoors and experience Miyazaki in all of its springtime glory!
Both the 100KM Long Course and 60KM Short course will start at the Kirishima Yamazakura Miyazaki Prefectural General Sports Park. Details about the nutrition/hydration provided at each aid station will be enclosed in the athlete guide. All aid stations will have water and at least one snack, such as oranges, rice balls, and Japanese-style snacks.
Please note that the course is not closed; cyclists will ride on public roads without road closures.
