One Month Left Until the Niseko Classic Entry Deadline
Entries are open until Friday, May 16.

We have already received an even greater number of entries than last year—thank you very much. (140km – at the 84km point / 80km – at the 21km point)
Currently, participants from 18 countries have registered. The youngest is a high school first-year student, and the oldest is 78 years old, showing the wide range of participants taking part in the event.

The Niseko Classic is the Japanese qualifier for the UCI Gran Fondo World Series.
By finishing among the top in your age category, you can earn a spot in the World Championships in Australia.
No special qualifications are required to join the Niseko Classic.
If you’re considering the challenge but are still undecided, this is a rare opportunity to race through the beautiful mountains of Niseko—please consider participating.

Entries are still open. We look forward to welcoming many more participants.

The photo shows the Panorama Line, a key point in the hill climb section.
This area is known for its heavy snowfall. Ski resorts remain open until Golden Week, and backcountry skiing can be enjoyed until the end of May.
Once the snow melts, the area transforms into the green season, ideal for cycling and hiking.

The Hokkaido Route 66 (Panorama Line) is scheduled to open on Monday, April 28.
If you plan to come for training during Golden Week or any other time, please follow traffic rules and be mindful of safety while riding. (No riding side by side.)
