Announcement of the 41st Shimano Suzuka Road Race 2026

Shimano Suzuka Road is a road bike festival that everyone interested in road biking can enjoy, from adults to children, and from experts to beginners. Celebrating its 41st edition, it is packed with the appeal of road races, allowing not only participating athletes but also their families and friends to enjoy the event together.

In the 'Suzuka Village' on the venue grounds, there are various exhibition booths and test ride courses. On the main stage, award ceremonies for each race and various stage events are held. Large LED screens will display the races and venue atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy the heated races via live broadcast.

■ Supporting Challenges for Youth and Masters
To expand competitive opportunities for young athletes, we are establishing a new U19 category (for ages 17-18) and a U17 category (for ages 15-16). For the masters generation, we have added '3-lap' and '5-lap' sections and established master classes in endurance events, creating an environment where everyone can take on the challenge.

■ Enhanced Experience Programs
We offer programs such as 'Experience! Suzuka Circuit,' where beginners and inexperienced riders can ride the Suzuka Circuit with professional athletes, and the 'Classic' race, where Japan's top-class athletes compete. Additionally, the 'Milky' event for preschoolers will be held on the home straight this year, providing a more immersive experience.
