<No traffic restrictions> Niseko Gravel 2025 will be held

The Panaracer NISEKO GRAVEL AUTUMN RIDE 2025, a cycling event that allows participants to enjoy nature and scenery, mainly on unpaved roads (gravel) such as gravel roads, will be held on Saturday, September 13th and Sunday, September 14th, 2025. This event is not a race where participants compete for ranking, but rather a long-distance cycling event where participants can enjoy the rich nature of the foot of Mt. Yotei.
The course includes roads within the town and roads used for agricultural work. There will be no traffic restrictions on residential roads (with the exception of some areas around the Central Warehouse Complex), so we ask for the understanding and cooperation of local residents.
The venue, Niseko Central Warehouses, will feature booths from bicycle manufacturers and outdoor brands, as well as exhibits from local food trucks and Niseko High School students. Other planned stage events include a dance performance by Max Kids and a Japanese drumming performance by Yasho. Admission is free, so please come along even if you just want to cheer on the team or just watch.
*The area around the venue is expected to be crowded. Please use public transportation or carpool when coming to the venue.

Date
Sunday, September 14, 2025
*There will also be a reception and event on the previous day, the 13th (Sat).
