Reviews of the Chichibu Pilgrimage Run
submitted on e-moshicom.
Enjoyable even for first-time distance runners
We walked the climbs, took breaks, and heard explanations from the guide. The team also looked after those at the back, so I could enjoy the event despite being unsure about the distance.
I felt comfortable despite different ability levels
Hydration and electrolytes were carefully considered, and a sweep runner stayed with us, so I felt comfortable even with participants of different abilities.
Enjoyable even without prior knowledge of the temples
We stopped to see the town and local shops, and learned about much more than the temples. I also received useful running advice.
From Chichibu’s valleys to its heights
Hearing from temple priests and local residents helped me appreciate Chichibu’s landscape and community. I enjoyed participating for a second time as well.
