The Mile Championship Nambu Hai (in Japanese: マイルチャンピオンシップ南部杯), is a Domestic Grade 1 race for three-year-olds and above held at Morioka Racecourse.[1]

The name of the race originates from the Nambu clan which ruled the Morioka Domain during the Edo period. The name and Nambu family crest are used with the approval of the 45th head of the Nambu clan, Toshiaki Nambu.[3] The current head of the Nambu clan attends the award ceremony every year and awards the trophy to the winner.

Race details[edit]

The race was originally known as the "Northern Japan Mile Championship", until it switched to the current name in 1995. The race is run over 1600 meters on dirt.

The race took place at Mizusawa Racecourse from 1988 to 1994 and due to earthquakes, took place at Tokyo Racecourse in 2011.[1]

The race is always held in October.
