New initiatives for the 10th anniversary tournament

Up to now, the tournament has two events: a 42.195km full marathon and a 1.4km fan run for first graders to under 18 years old and wheelchair users.
In this tournament, in addition to the second event, we have newly established a "Pair Relay" that runs about 43 km by connecting a pair of taski with a group of two people, in order to encourage beginners to participate casually.
Director of Aoyama Gakuin University Ekiden Hebara

Aoyama Gakuin University Ekiden, a feature of the New Year, has achieved many good results in the past and has attracted a lot of attention for its ability and achievements. At the Kochi Ryoma Marathon 2023, we ran through Tosa Road with our trademark fresh green uniform and attracted many fans.
Director Susumu Hara, who has more fans than players and has appeared in many media, gave a message about the appeal of the tournament and the Kochi training camp, so please take a look.
At the meeting, let's look at the top level running.
In addition, on February 17, the day before the tournament, a running seminar will be held by Aoyama Gakuin University Ekiden, so we look forward to your participation.
