Hiroshima Ultra-Trail 50K 2027
Also known as: Hiroshima by UTMB · HIROSHIMA TRAIL · HIROSHIMA 50K
Starts and finishes at Hiroshima Gate Park. Riverside paths along the Ota River lead past rice fields and farming hamlets into the mountains northeast of the city, where forested ridges open onto Hiroshima Bay and the Seto Inland Sea, with some very steep descents. After Mt. Ushita the course returns along the river and passes beneath the A-bomb Dome to the finish.
The course tops out at 680 m (low point 0 m). There are 4 big climbs: 363 m around 0–10 km; 506 m around 15–18 km; 319 m around 25–27 km; 444 m around 29–35 km. About 40% of the distance is gentle (under 5% grade). In 2026, 100% of starters finished. The median finish was about 10 h.

Enter your ITRA performance index to get an estimated finish time, aid-station splits and cutoff margins. This race has no finisher ITRA data, so it uses the transfer model: your predictions for the 205 races that do have finisher data, scaled by distance and elevation gain (km-effort) — the same calculation as the TRAIL STATUS app. Nothing is saved or sent.
The app adds predictions from your training log (Strava), race-day pacing and more. Free, no sign-up.
