Start & finish is Takeda City general athletic park.
Run along the Uozumi dam lake and go to the prefectural highway No. 8 and run along the mountainous Ogata River.
There are two turnaround points and it is somewhat irregular, but it is a round-trip course that goes up along the river towards the source and returns.
There is a height difference of about 200 m, a long climb continues from the first half to the middle stage, the latter half is descending.
It is quite a tough course, but if you drink the famous water that springs from everywhere, including the Takeda Meishi group, also called Kyushu Ichi, you should get power.
For Aid, Kabosu juice specialized in Oita and tasty rice balls are also prepared, and hot cheers from local people boost runners.
