COURSE

Beach Cross Kujukuri takes place on a specially designed 5.5 km course along Katakai Central Beach

The route offers a dynamic mix of firm sand along the shoreline, deep sandy sections, gravel paths, and short paved stretches. Riders face the unique challenge of heavy sand, unstable surfaces, and constant accelerations and decelerations, creating the thrilling and intense racing experience only Kujukuri can deliver.

Spectators can watch the action unfold right in front of them, with the vast ocean serving as a breathtaking backdrop.

※ The course features a 400m start loop before the actual race begins. Participants are required to follow the lead bike during this loop. Note: Kids races do not include the start loop.
