The course features a picturesque landscape and a maximum elevation difference of about 150 meters, making it an enjoyable run. The event includes four categories: marathon (10km), pair marathon (10km), walking (7km), and parent-child marathon (2km). All participants will receive a hamo dumpling soup, coffee, and one mikan (mandarin orange) as a gift. Mikan juice will be provided at the water stations (except for the parent-child marathon). There will be a lottery for specialty products and more (excluding the walking category). Participants in the marathon and pair marathon will receive a special original T-shirt.

This is known for a traditional event called "Ohimachi" where young men from the community purify themselves in the sea early in the morning and then gather to visit the Nanryuu-jinja Shrine (also known as the "naked pilgrimage"). This event had been discontinued for a long time due to a decline in the younger generation, but with the cooperation of Wakayama University, it was revived in January 2017. Every year on the second Sunday of January, the memorial service for Tokugawa Yorinobu, who pioneered the Yabitsu area, is conducted by the head priest of Chouhou-ji Temple in Shimotsu-cho, Kainan City, the family temple of the Tokugawa clan. This service is attended by residents of the Yabitsu area who are 70 years old and above.
