Hokkaido's Largest Fitness Competition 'VOLIX CUP 2026' Announced

VOLIX Co., Ltd. (CEO: Shohei Otoh) will hold Hokkaido's first self-organized fitness and bodybuilding competition, 'VOLIX CUP 2026', on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at the Hokkaido Youth Center Compass Hall (Minami-ku, Sapporo). There are few fitness competitions in Hokkaido, and traveling outside the prefecture involves the hurdle of crossing the sea. 'A stage where you can challenge yourself while staying in Hokkaido'—that is the origin of this competition. The 90-person quota for the beginner-only 'THE FIRST STAGE' has already sold out. The fact that there was a segment of people in Hokkaido who had been training steadily while dreaming of competing confirms the response to the event. ■ Competition Overview Competition Name: VOLIX CUP 2026 Date: Saturday, September 5, 2026 Venue: Hokkaido Youth Center Compass Hall Address: 7-8-1 Makomanai Kashiwaoka, Minami-ku, Sapporo, 005-0003 Organizer: VOLIX Co., Ltd.
