What is TRAIL OPEN AIR DEMO (TOAD)?

A major event for trail runners themed around "Experience, Try, and Discover"

With the concept of "Experience trail running! Try out lots of gear! Find your favorites!," TOAD is a special two-day event where trail running and outdoor brands from Japan and abroad gather in one place. The biggest appeal is the ability to actually test and compare the latest shoes and various gear you have been curious about, taking advantage of the rich natural environment of the venue. It is an experiential outdoor event that everyone who loves trail running, from beginners to experts, can enjoy.
