Lily Route Challenge 2026
A loop from Enzan in Koshu City, climbing to Kamihikawa Pass and returning via Suzuran, Fukasawa and Marronnier. A shortened version of the Haute Route, it still offers ridges facing Mt. Fuji and singletrack through deep forest.
The course tops out at 1,996 m (low point 456 m). There are 2 big climbs: 1,538 m around 5–25 km; 352 m around 46–49 km. The longest descent drops 691 m around 42 km at about 17% on average. Only about 30% is gentle (under 5% grade); most of it is climbing or descending. In 2025, 86% of starters finished. The median finish was about 11 h.
