My name is Bogdan Damian and I am from Romania. This will be the first time I've ran in Japan as well as my first visit and I am very excited to uncover its trails. For me, Japan is an exotic country and I am certain that its culture and sights will be spectacular and unexpected. The Kobe Trail Race will be the first stage of the Golden Trail World Series and I am ready to do my best so that it would be a good start. See you in Japan!
