YOUR FIRST TRAIL Vol.01

YOUR FIRST TRAIL supported by ALTRA

Held on Sunday, April 5, 2026!!

Hello! This is Shiina from ROCK STEPPERS.

"Running in the mountains is impossible without confidence in my physical strength..."
"I don't have the gear, and I feel like I'd be a burden to serious runners..."

Do you have such an image of trail running?

Actually, I thought so too at first.

But the truth is,
even just walking on the soft soil feels incredibly good,
the air on the trail is healing,
and above all, lunch or beer after descending is the best.

Therefore, we are holding a trail event for "first-timers"
【YOUR FIRST TRAIL】.

This time, with the cooperation of ALTRA,
you can rent the latest shoes (Lone Peak 9+ / Olympus 275) for free.

When you actually try them on and walk or run on the trail,
you'll surely have the feeling that "I might be able to do this."

The course is divided into two groups for different purposes.

① 3km Group (for those new to trail running)

Instructor: Shiina

"I'm not confident in my physical strength."
"I'm almost completely new to the outdoors."
"I want to try it out and have fun first."

This group is for such people.

Many women and young people participate, so please feel free to join even if you are new.

We will proceed at the pace of the slowest person.
We will walk all uphill sections.

If the scenery is good, we will stop and take pictures.
There will be no overexertion.

More than just a "running event,"
it's a time to enjoy the trail.

We will only run a little, focusing on the most pleasant parts.

Start here.
Let's take our first step together.

② 6km Group (for beginners)

Instructor: Yamane

"I jog a little."
"I have experience hiking."
"I want to run with someone, not alone."

This is for you.

This group is for those who want to run a little more.

If you usually run alone, don't know which course to run, or want to learn about rules and manners, store owner Yamane will guide you. This might be an opportunity to find fellow trail enthusiasts.

Let's enjoy the mountains at a comfortable pace.
