Over the long weekend , we participated (exhibited) at "FORESTRAIL" held in Shinjo Village, Okayama Prefecture, by renting a booth from Niche Rich Catch in Tsuyama City .

Approximately 300 people participated in both the long and middle races, making a total of 600 runners who gathered in the village of approximately 900 residents. Registration took place the day before, and as there was also a social gathering, runners began arriving one after another from around 4:00 p.m.

Since the event was scheduled to start at 5:00 the next morning, exhibitors began setting up at 3:00.

Free hot meals are served from early in the morning, allowing race participants to warm up and relax.

It's always a pleasure to see people wearing our products at the venue. This is the MS-E1 .

Powered by three AA batteries, this is a well-balanced product in terms of brightness, duration, weight, and water resistance.

And this person who participated in the night trail event at Sotoaso in Osaka the other day,

"I liked the fit and the angle of illumination, so I bought it the day after the event!"

Also, this person said at the registration the day before the race, "I saw it in a magazine and I was interested in it."

Similarly, the customer purchased it because "it fits well and I like that it can be switched to incandescent light when it's hot." I'm very happy about that.

The MS-F1: Trail Master is a great opportunity to talk to customers at events like this and let them experience the fit and handling of the bike, so we would like to continue to actively participate in these events in the future.

Now, the long race is about to start. The people who will be guiding us. I always feel nervous and excited at the start.

The middle race started at 9:00 a.m. when it was light outside.

Everyone's smiles were impressive.

The winner of the long race was Shota Ogawa . He won with a spectacular run. He finished at the same time as a woman who had finished the middle race!

Both the men's and women's winners will receive invitation tickets to The Green Race Ultra , which will be held in Hong Kong next year. We hope they do their best.

Milestone also presented us with an MS-E1 as a consolation prize.

This was my first time participating in this race, and I had a great time talking to so many different people. Next time, I'd like to work on building up my stamina so I can participate in a race (a middle distance, of course...) lol. Thank you to everyone who helped me out.
