Similar to the previous trials, the SASUKE 41 Trials are a series of preliminary events designed to test people for SASUKE. 500 were chosen to compete in the trials.

However, the format was modified compared to the previous trial, as each colored group were subdivided into two small sections of 10 competitors compete together as a batch led by a known SASUKE competitor:
- First batch consisted of bib #1-20 is led by Yamamoto Shingo,
- Second batch consisted of bib #21-40 is led by Hioki Masashi,

- Fourth batch consisted of bib #61-80 is led by Matachi Ryo, and
- Fifth batch consisted of bib #81-100 is led by Kawaguchi Tomohiro.

100 remaining competitors grouped based on their colored groups competed in an event known as Survival Shuttle Run (サバイバルシャトルラン). Each group would run back and forth across a 40 m long marked track, totalised to 80 m in each race.
