2026 Schedule / Itinerary
Tentative Training Schedule (subject to slight changes)
Saturday, August 15 (Climb) – Acclimation day at B-PUMP Ogikubo. This will be an opportunity for the Japanese athletes and the USA/International athletes to meet and connect. It is highly recommended you arrive the day before as traveling all day and heading straight to the gym can be a lot. This will also be a great time to potentially coordinate with your new friends activities for Sunday! 🙂
