How Multi Sports ties in with Rainbow Ride 2026
Rainbow Ride 2026 is a cycling event in which participants ride over Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Gate Bridge. Multi Sports is held at the Rainbow Ride finish venue on the same day. You can enjoy cycling-related content as well as many other sports there.
Both events belong to GRAND CYCLE TOKYO (GCT), a Tokyo Metropolitan Government project that runs bicycle events to make cycling part of everyday life, since it is good for both the environment and your health. Tokyo has also earned the UCI BIKE CITY LABEL from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), and it is the first city in East Asia to receive it.
Guests and special stages
Two GCT ambassadors lead the lineup, joined by TV personalities. There are also two special programs: a stage based on a popular YouTube channel and a public recording of a TV show.
