Media coverage on the day of the event

We are excited to announce the “MyNavi Tour de Kyushu 2023,” a new stage race that will take place from October 6th to 9th, spanning Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Oita. This event is an officially recognized UCI (International Cycling Union) road cycling race and is significant as it symbolizes the sustained legacy of the Rugby World Cup, the promotion of cycling tourism in Kyushu, and the region’s recovery from recent natural disasters. All of this is supported by the Kyushu Regional Strategy Conference, composed of Kyushu’s economic organizations and prefectural governors.

We are pleased to commence media coverage arrangements for the series of events scheduled to start on October 6th.
