KUTV Healthy Marathon

March 13th (Sun)

8am – when you finish

Cost  3000 yen

Distance: a mere 14km!

Time for a de-tox and an intense training regime!  The first of many fun-runs / races is coming up in March.  It is a pretty easy one and I really recomment it!  I’ll be running this year again, and if you need any furhter info, feel free to mail me on…

This is a great run to get you back in shape after too much new year mochi and sake.  The course is a gentle one and there is no cut-off time.  This means you really can treat it just as a fun-run.  The starting point is Haruno Sports park, and the course takes you down to the seafront and around haruno is a lovely little circuit.

About 2000 people take part and the atmosphere is great.

Applications must be in by February 10th and all information is on this website (in Japanese)

Here is the internet application link  Get your Japanese speaking superfriend to help fill it out.  You have to sign up for the website runnet first. It’s a bit of a pain (!)

Alternatively go straight to the KUTV building, get an application form and fill it out there and then.  (That is usually what I do!)

It costs 3000 yen, but it’s definitly worth it: You even get a a bento and apple thrown in!

Happy running, healthy friends.
