Terrain<\/h3>\n

Sprint: Kasumi, Kami Town<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The sprint race will take place in the fishing town of Kami, located on the coast of the Sea of Japan. The course will run through the old town area, featuring many narrow streets. The terrain is mostly flat and situated at sea level.<\/p>\n

Forest Qualification: Higashi-Hachibuse Kogen<\/strong>
\nThe forest qualification race will be held in the wooded area surrounding the Higashihachi ski resort, located in the Yabu City region. The terrain lies at an altitude of approximately 600\u2013800 meters and consists of one main slope with generally gentle gradients, but with some steeper sections. There are relatively few distinct terrain features, and the area does not require highly precise map reading overall. In some parts, deep gullies and valleys form important route choice elements. The forest is generally runnable, with very good visibility. Most of the vegetation consists of planted cedar and cypress forests.
\nOn the western edge of the area, there is a well-known terraced rice field landscape, adding to the unique character of the terrain.<\/p>\n

Middle Distance: Uwano-Kogen<\/strong>
\nThe middle distance final will take place on the slopes of Uwano Kogen at an altitude of 500\u2013700 meters. The terrain is mainly deciduous forest with some conifers and features a network of paths and forest roads. Visibility and runnability are generally good, although they may be reduced in areas with younger forest. There are also grassy areas and recreational facilities within the terrain.<\/p>\n

Long Distance: Mineyama Kogen<\/strong>
\nMineyama Kogen is a large, gently undulating basin at an altitude of around 900 meters, surrounded by mountains exceeding 1,100 meters. The terrain consists of deciduous forest dominated by oak, with rich detail, small streams, wetlands, and scattered rocky areas. Runnability and visibility have improved significantly in recent years. A ski resort, opened in 2017, is located in the southern part of the area.<\/p>\n
