Please download your participation ticket from the “Participation Ticket Issuance Notice” sent by email, and either save it on your smartphone or print the PDF to bring with you to the venue.

≪Course Information≫
Start: Kubokawa Elementary School → Goal: Furusato Exchange Center
- Some sections of the course are very narrow. Moving along the course to cheer runners (by family, friends, or supporters) is strictly prohibited, as it can interfere with race operations and compromise runner safety.
Officials will check vehicle numbers, and any runner whose supporters are moving along the course may be disqualified.
From this year, these measures have been strengthened. The organizers are not responsible for any accidents caused by moving support.
- Most of the course runs alongside regular traffic. Please be careful and avoid running side by side, in large groups, or overtaking suddenly in a way that obstructs vehicles.
