Omi and Nishioka Win Mt. Ushimatsu Vertical Race



Ryunosuke Omi, winner of last month's Mt. Kosha Vertical Mile, returned Sunday to win Kyoto's Mt. Ushimatsu Vertical Race, a 2 km trail race with 464 m elevation gain, each runner covering the course twice with a two-hour break in between. With runners starting at 30-second intervals Omi had the fastest time among the 74 men in the race, covering two circuits of the course in 16:57 to win by over a minute. Triathlete Maki Nishioka beat international-level mountain and sky running specialist Yuri Yoshizumi to win the women's race in her trail debut, running 20:54 to Yoshizumi's 22:24.
