Last weekend, TOAD (Trail Open Air Demo) was held in Ome City, Tokyo. Among the many prestigious manufacturers in attendance, our company also participated for the first time.

In fact, it was my first time to participate in a trail running event.

Nagayama Athletic Field in Ome has a trail on the mountain behind it, making it a truly on-site field, and the weather was perfect!

Bringing the usual handmade sign,

Exhibition and sale of new products.

Although it is still a prototype, many people have tried out the Trail Master and received positive feedback, so we are relieved.

PETZL 's new product is also light and looks good.

BlackDiamond 's new product is also light and good.

And UltraSpire 's waist-mounted light looked really good.

On the first night, we went to a trail running shoe store run by ALTRA, the best in the industry.

"ZERO LIMITS NIGHT" will be held,

In conjunction with this, we are planning to lend out products from the headlamp manufacturers mentioned above, which is a great opportunity for us to test our prototypes.

The countdown began and everyone started at once.


As a light manufacturer, this was an exciting moment. The orange (warm white) color was easy to see at a glance because it was our product. This race was a 12-hour endurance race, running from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

During this time, runners also ran through the course, and I was truly impressed by the support provided by the people behind the scenes who welcomed them and prepared food and drinks.

There was a whole carload of food and drinks. It was amazing. And it was delicious. It warmed my body and soul.

We had many runners try out the Trail Master. It was well received, which was great. We hope to release it in the summer.

The next day, an event was held by inov-8 . Top runners, manufacturers, and ordinary people all participated in a relay race, running with all their might. Everyone was saying things like, "Your headlamp is shining!", but we were also casually promoting ourselves.

Beyond each barrier

There were smiles throughout.

We would like to express our gratitude to the organizers and to all the exhibitors for their hard work.

Finally, we finished off with a commemorative photo.
