\"Active<\/p>\n

We’re Not Like Other Races!<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to races, they usually end when you reach the finish line, but not the Hakuba Half. This race keeps on giving. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"Event<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve crossed the finish line, the fun doesn\u2019t stop there. Runners can celebrate their achievement at the event area, where live performances will keep the atmosphere going throughout the day. The celebrations continue into the evening with the after party, giving everyone plenty of time to relax, enjoy themselves and spend the rest of the day with the Hakuba Half community, celebrating together after a day on the course.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not quite ready to leave the mountains behind, there\u2019s even more to come the next day, with the chance to swap your running shoes for skis (snowboards are allowed too) and hit the slopes of Hakuba. It\u2019s the perfect way to round off a weekend in the mountains.<\/p>\n

What If I Can’t Run That Far?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There’s no need to worry if 21km sounds like a bit too much. The Hakuba Half Marathon also offers 10km and 5km options, so you can choose a distance that suits you and still be part of the action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Participants<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hakuba Half is for everyone, no matter your experience or pace. Whichever distance you choose, you’ll still get to enjoy the atmosphere, the mountain views and the community that makes the event so special. Everyone is welcome, so pick the distance that feels right for you and come be part of the Hakuba Half!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Will I See Along the Way?<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the best things about the Hakuba Half is that the longer you run, the more of Hakuba you get to see. Each course takes you through a different part of the valley, with plenty of iconic mountain scenery and landmarks to keep you busy along the way.\"\"<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

5km \u2014 Hakuba Core<\/b>
\n<\/b>The 5km is all about getting everyone involved. It’s a great option for families, younger runners and anyone looking for a fun and relaxed way to experience the Hakuba Half. Whether it’s your first race or you’re simply looking to enjoy the day together, the 5km is an easy way to be part of the action.<\/p>\n

10km \u2014 Hakuba +<\/b>
\n<\/b>New for 2027, the 10km has been added for those looking to step things up. If you took on the 5km last year and are ready for a bigger challenge, or 5km feels a little too short but 21km is more than you’re ready for, the 10km could be the perfect middle ground. It’s a chance to push yourself a little further while still enjoying everything the Hakuba Half has to offer.<\/p>\n

21km \u2014 Hakuba Platinum<\/b>
\n<\/b>For those ready to take on the full half marathon, the 21km is the ultimate way to experience Hakuba. With a longer course comes more time to take in the surrounding scenery, mountain views and the beautiful landscapes of the Hakuba Valley. If you’re looking to combine a proper running challenge with a chance to see more of Hakuba, this is the one for you.<\/p>\n

There’s more to take home than just the memories. Your entry fee also includes access to all the photos taken throughout the event, so you’ll be able to look back on the race, the scenery and all the moments in between long after you’ve crossed the finish line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
