In the ninth edition of the event, around 1,850 men and women took part in both individual races and four-member relay competitions, testing their endurance as they charged uphill against the steep slope used during the 1972 Winter Olympics.
According to organizer Red Bull Japan, the race at the venue began in 2017. With renovation work scheduled for the facility, this year’s event marked the final time the competition would be held there.
