The NISEKO CLASSIC is a citizen participation road race held on public roads in the Niseko area, which is one of the few one-way races in Japan. It was first held in 2014 and since 2016, it has been a qualifying event for the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) Gran Fondo World Series, the first in Asia. This year, it will be held on refreshed 150km and 80km courses. Participants are divided into age groups, and those who finish in the top 25% will qualify for the Gran Fondo Championship, the highest level race for hobby riders. Niseko Classic is one of the largest races in Japan with over 1,000 citizen riders from around the world participating. Why not take on this exciting challenge? The Pre-Event “Niseko Fun Ride” has been revamped! The day before the race, join the 60km/100km NISEKO CLASSIC Fun Ride! This is suitable for families (children from elementary school age and above) and those who like to enjoy beautiful scenery. Also, this will be a good warm-up before the Niseko Classic road race.
