About this race
Higashi-Nihon Track is a two-day track cycling race held in July at Matsumoto Velodrome, known as Sky Road Cycling Stadium Matsumoto, in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. This is the 57th running, and it is part of the JBCF calendar, not a casual ride or road race.
Riders compete on the velodrome, not a point-to-point course, keeping the action within the stadium on the banked track. The program includes E1, E2, E3, F, M, P, and Y categories, bringing together multiple competition levels and divisions. The event is organized by JBCF and supported by a Keirin subsidy project, a fitting connection for a Japanese track event held on a cycling stadium designed for closed-circuit racing.
