Notice of Partial Change of Venue and Course for 2024

As we have announced through social networking sites (Facebook, Instagram), there will be changes to the start/finish point and course.

This will make it much easier to get to the venue by public transportation (train), and to buy food (at supermarkets) and take a bath (after the race, etc.) from the venue during the event period.

The information on this page (Latest Information) is the latest information available at this time (as of February 5, 2024). Other pages will be updated as necessary.
