Other questions
A participant notification is posted about one week before the event. Bring it to the reception desk within your event's designated time slot on race day and it will be exchanged for your bib and sash. Posting may be slightly delayed depending on entry numbers.
It is a two-hour relay for people who want to join a team rather than enter one of their own. The organising committee pairs entrants from the same event into teams and announces the combinations on the day, so you write "none" in the team name field when you enter. If no other team has entered by the deadline, the committee office will contact you about what happens next.
No. The number of team members cannot be changed once you have entered, so please confirm everyone's availability before you submit your entry.
Teams complete laps of the course inside Kusatsugawa Atochi Park and hand over a sash to the next runner. The team that completes the most laps within the time limit wins, and at the cut-off the runner on course finishes the lap they are on rather than starting a new one.
Yes, baggage storage is available at the venue, but valuables cannot be accepted.
