Kabe Renzan Trail Race

7km, 16km and 22km trail races in the hills behind Kabe, just north of Hiroshima city. Both courses begin with a challenging 600m climb up Mt Kanmuri.

With the race starting at 9am, this is one trail race that is possible to get to without a car. The train takes you as far as Kabe Station, from where it is a 6km taxi ride to the Chugoku Denryoku Nanbara Kenkyu Center [中国電力研修センター南原研修所], were the race starts and finishes (the taxi fare was about ¥1700 in 2016). Although the local bus won’t get you there in time for the long race, you can catch a bus back to Hiroshima city center (though the number of departures are limited).
