Reports and event feedback

  • Nine original Saburo cards — supportive atmosphere, equipment issues and changing rules ↗

    e-moshicom handles across three Saburo editions; identities unverified

    Reviewers enjoy the close-knit atmosphere, challenging obstacles and helpful locals. Two 2025 cards criticize equipment trouble, one also describing rules clarified after practice. A 2026 reviewer asks for tougher penalties; a 2024 four-star reviewer wants more finisher items and leaves room for improvement.

    All nine complete original cards read: three explicitly for 13 January 2024, five for 18 January 2025 and one for 12 January 2026. Original registrations join all three to Kawazuhama Beach. These are nine cards, not independently verified identities or finishes; personal classes and funding are unstated. Posting dates are separate from event dates. The current native event score is recorded separately; the organizer’s 4.89/9 is not transferred or recomputed. Source photos/video are not adopted or reused.

  • The organizer explicitly confirms the 12 January 2026 event has finished at Kawazuhama Beach. Registration/check-in at Kawazu Hachiman Shrine is a different place, not the obstacle course. No later edition is verified here.
  • The course is nominally 100 metres with more than ten obstacles. Paired qualification times select finalists; the 2026 programme gives two qualification attempts and a knockout final. Exact layouts, penalties and time limits may change.
  • The 2024 and 2025 original programmes identify the same beach but different obstacle/rule details. Their reviews remain historical editions, not confirmation of an unchanged 2026 course. Separate youth categories are not an adult participation count.
  • The native blue event score is 5.00/5. The nearby 4.89 from nine reviews belongs to the organizer profile and is not substituted for this edition’s score.
