Last year, a rough-road runner who ran out of steam at the difficult final stretch of Magose Pass is once again taking on the top of the Eastern Ultramarathon, the Hoshinosato Yatsugatake Nobeyama Highland Ultramarathon. Though his running ability is modest, will he be able to stick to his usual style and complete the race this year? The story of his epic challenge begins again on a grueling course.
