(main office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shuntaro Watanabe) is holding the "JPF Presents Cycing sports Challenge 2025," a mountain biking experience event held across the country, with the aim of instilling in children the "fun of Cycing sports talent. (Tournament entry page: https://slmedia.jp/jpf-presents-mtb-challenge-2025/)

This event is a participatory program aimed primarily at elementary school children, offering them the opportunity to try mountain bike racing for the first time. For those new to racing, practical lessons will be held at the venue by former professional riders, so that participants can feel at ease. We respond to the concerns of parents who say, "My child loves cycling, but I'm nervous about racing for the first time..." and provide thorough support to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.
The race program offers two events: a "Kids' Race" and an "Endurance Race." You can choose based on your physical strength and experience, and everyone from beginners to advanced runners can enjoy a sense of accomplishment in their own style. You can also participate in both events.
This event supports children's "challenges" and is open to anyone, even those with no racing experience. Please come along and enjoy it as a family outing.
In addition to participating in the race, we also welcome visitors who just want to watch.
