Although we experienced some rain during the event, we are very pleased to have successfully completed the 2026 NISEKO GRAVEL AUTUMN RIDE.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the riders who joined us from across Japan despite the challenging weather conditions, to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the event, and to everyone who supported the event, including local businesses, government organizations, and all those who understood and cooperated with our event operations.

We hope that, even in the rain, you were able to experience the unique charm of gravel riding in Niseko — from the scenery of the forests to the feel of the earth beneath your tires.

Thanks to your understanding and cooperation, we were able to successfully bring this year’s event to a close.

Moving forward, we will continue to put safety first while striving to deliver unforgettable experiences that showcase the magnificent nature of Hokkaido and Niseko, its delicious local food, and the unique events that bring people together.
We look forward to seeing you all again here in Niseko. Once again, our sincerest thanks to everyone who participated and to everyone who supported and helped make this event possible.
