JPF Presents MTB Challenge 2025: Fourth Edition Announcement

The much-anticipated JPF Presents MTB Challenge 2025 is set to take place once again, this time in the beautiful city of Toyama, on October 12, 2025. The event is organized by JPF Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, under the leadership of Toshiro Watanabe. This initiative aims to deliver the joys of cycle sports and the thrill of challenge to children across Japan.

Encouraging Young Riders
This event primarily targets elementary school students, providing them with the opportunity to participate in their first mountain bike race. It serves as a participatory program designed to introduce the sport in a friendly and supportive environment.
