Terrain Description
Location: The terrain is located within a vast forest some 800 - 1100 meters
above sea level which extends over the saddle between Mount Fuji, the
highest mountain in Japan (3776 m) and Mount Ashitaka, which is south-east
of Mount Fuji.
Geographical features: The terrain was formed from volcanic lava of Mount
Fuji in ancient times. This lava is now almost covered with deep humus soil
which is very soft, but some rocky areas or isolated rock features can still
be seen. The terrain is moderately hilly, with some steep areas. Most of
the terrain slopes towards the south from the top of Mount Fuji. In places,
the old lava streams have formed subtle complex terrain with many knolls and
depressions. There are also many small erosion gullies, ditches and
seasonal watercourses, which should be dry at the time of the competitions.
There are some deeply eroded tracks which may appear similar to the
watercourses and erosion gullies.
Vegetation features: The forest consists mainly of conifers. The
visibility is generally good, but runnability is variable. There are areas
of thorn bushes, dense bamboo grass and cut timber from forestry operations,
all of which affect runnability.
y Man-made features: There are some sealed or unsealed roads in the terrain,
but few paths. There are some new forestry tracks in the forest.
Miscellaneous:
There are some classes called "Challenge World Cup runners!!", which
use the same course as the World Cup.
M21E, W21E and M21A will be the same course as the World Cup.
W21A will use part of the course.
