It's been dry. Warm enough to keep running.
Saroma 100km Ultra Marathon Race, which is one of the oldest ultra marathon races in Japan, is held on Sunday 24th.
I ran along the route for a while.
I finished the 5th Saroma 100km in 1989 for the first time.
At that time about 500 runners entered the race but this time almost 4000 runners will come together.
Amazing!
There are many ultra runners who have finished this race more than 10 times.
They are called "Saroman Blue."
Ultra marathon is not a race, it should be thought to be a travel.
It is important to enjoy each step, slow and steady.
Tonight I stay on a train car (steam locomotaive).
This used to be a station but there's no railway service any more.
Now the town runs a community park and offered a place to stay for travelers.
*Distance today: 28.2 miles (45.4km)
*Total distance from Wakkanai: 167.1 miles (268.9km)
