KOBE TRAIL - FULL HIGHLIGHTS - GTWS 2025

The 2025 Golden Trail World Series (GTWS) kicked off in Kobe, Japan, with a fiery opener marked by intense heat, high humidity, and a technical course that took no prisoners. From the surroundings of the Mayasan Kikuseidai lookout point, the heart of the race, runners tackled a course packed with endless stairs, stone-paved trails, and steep descents through the forests of Mount Maya. With over 300 athletes on the start line and a strong representation from the international elite, the opening round of the circuit delivered a high-level show in a setting rich in Japanese symbolism and tradition.
