Get Ready for the 5th JPF Presents MTB Challenge 2025!

JPF Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is excited to announce the upcoming fifth edition of the JPF Presents MTB Challenge 2025, set to take place on November 16, 2025, at the Kyotan Mukomachi Velodrome's 4th parking lot. This event aims to introduce children to the joy of sports cycling and the thrills of facing challenges while grooming the next generation of mountain biking enthusiasts.

This participatory program is primarily designed for elementary school students and encourages them to take their first step into the exhilarating world of mountain biking. Understanding that many parents have concerns for their skiing tykes, we will have experienced ex-professional riders on-site providing practical lessons to ease any apprehension. Our goal is to ensure that every participant has a safe, enjoyable experience.

The competition features two key events: the Kids’ Race and the Endurance Race. Young participants can select a race based on their stamina and experience levels, allowing everyone from beginners to advanced riders to embrace the thrill of conquering challenges. There's even an option available for participants to join both races!

Not only does this event celebrate children’s determination, but it also invites families to take part, making it a perfect outing. Families who want to cheer on the racers are more than welcome to attend just for the excitement of watching the event unfold.
