Hibiya Ride serves as the start and finish for a long street run designed for ultra runners preparing for races such as Saroma. The atmosphere is practical, focusing on time on feet, maintaining a steady rhythm, and a small group moving together through the city, guided by a runner who sets the pace.
The pace is set at 7 minutes per kilometer, excluding time spent waiting for traffic lights. This run emphasizes holding form when fatigue sets in, rather than chasing fast splits. It is suitable for runners seeking companionship for serious ultra-marathon preparation, with the flexibility to participate on a single day instead of the entire series.
