Kana Yanagimura
Born in 1989, from Iwate Prefecture.
A member of the track and field team through high school, this athlete began marathon running as a working adult. Initially focused on full and ultra-marathons, they discovered an interest in trail running after participating in a short-distance race (~20 km) at the invitation of friends. Successfully completing the challenging "Oku-Mikawa Power Trail," known for its low finish rate, marked the start of their serious participation in trail running events. With high-level hiking skills, as demonstrated by exploring unmarked routes in the Tanzawa Mountain Range in Kanagawa during their free time, she excel in mountain endurance races with significant elevation gains.
