About the MCT in general

Q1. Is it possible to cycle the trail? Can trail running event be hold on the MCT?

The MCT course is being maintained by land owners and local governments and ministries manage the paths and roads involved as a walking course. Please don’t ride bicycles and motorcycles on paths that are just meant for walking. We also don’t recommend running the MCT.

See the link below (Japanese) for details about the process for potentially holding a trail running event in a national park.
