About Summit Course

Summit Course is the skyrace at Fuji Mountain Race 2027 (Japan). The race starts on July 23, 2027.

Race strategy

Start easy, build your effort, and go all out at the finish.

  • Steep 31% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • High point at 3710m. Control your HR at altitude.
  • Control your HR on the first climb.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Home · 2.3km–20.0km · Climb of 2936m, high point 3710m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. At altitude your pace drops, and that's fine. Hike the steepest pitches.

Course

By gradient, 94% of the distance is uphill, 0% downhill and 6% flat. The longest climb runs 20.0km at an average 14.7% grade (2936m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 44.1% over 1.0km.

Poles

Trekking poles are strongly recommended: about 7.9km of the course is steep enough for them to pay off.

Quad damage

There is too little runnable descent to damage the quads: plan the race around climbing and fuelling.
