■For first-time participants
There are no race markers, information, or safety instructions. The Rokko All-Mountain Traverse Trail is not always well-marked, either. Please be prepared to do this by yourself. Some participants have clearly lacked running ability or have been negligent with their equipment (maps, lights, food, etc.). Problems have occurred such as getting stuck or borrowing equipment. The Rokko Traverse has steep trail sections, even for experienced climbers. To avoid unnecessary problems, please prepare well before participating in the race. The event might have a festive atmosphere, but the trail is no joke.
■Start format
- For the 1.5 round trip (Rainbow), start time is free.
- About the detour route around Mt.Takatori, please take the paved road (Nagata Minoya Rd - Shioya Maruyama Rd) instead of climbing Mt. Takatori.
- Please do not go on the actual roadways and use the sidewalks (except for bicycles).
- There are two Lawson stores on the detour route.
■Safety on the Cannonball Run.
Cannonball is a grassroot race (think fatass race). We do not have a professional medical team available. Please make your own plans at your own risk and be sure to come back down the mountain alive.
■About the Finish time report

■Goal cut off time
The goal at Takarazuka will close at 19:00.
■Weather Preparation
The Cannonball Run is loved by the weather, and many past events have been held in stormy weather with rain, snowstorms, thunderstorms, dense fog, etc. Please be sure to bring sufficient equipment for your participation (except for Momo-chan).
■Attention all POWER, BUDDY, TEAM, GAY, STH, and RAINBOW members!
- Please run quietly as you will be passing through residential areas late at night.
- Please turn on your red lights at night to let others know you are coming.
- Please do not use a bear bell late at night.
■Luggage storage is no longer available.
The essence of the Cannonball Run is to carry everything you need on your back while you run. If you have items that you cannot carry, please use coin lockers at stations or other facilities. Please note that there are only a few coin lockers available at Suma Station, so we recommend using other coin lockers.
Please use the coin lockers at the station or run with your luggage on your back as in the original Cannonball Runs. We recommend you to use other coin lockers than those at Suma station because they fill up very quickly.
■For those aid stations
- Please refrain from using public benches or tables.
- If you would like an aid station bib, please contact us by email. We will mail them to you.
