Miyakojima City and the promoter Power Sports ran the race with the Ryukyu Shimpo as co-host, starting and finishing at the Turibar waterfront in Hirara. The tenth edition on 9 July 2017 sent 482 riders over the Irabu, Ikema and Kurima bridges on 184 km and 114 km courses, with traffic held only in the riders' direction. For 2018 the organisers kept the race off all three bridges for rider safety and to spare tourist traffic, and the courses shrank to 136 km and 74 km.
The newspaper's coverage stops after June 2018, and we found no later results, entry pages or announcements, so treat the race as dormant until the city says otherwise. The long-distance cycling on Miyako's calendar now is the bike leg of the All Japan Triathlon Miyakojima in April.
