Another monthly local race in the Tokyo/Yokohama area, this one run along the Tsurumi river. There is no swag (except for the top 3 finishers), there are no big crowds of cheering spectators, no amazing urban scenery, nor pristine nature, although if the weather is clear, you can get a nice view of Mt. Fuji.
The race is out and back 5 kilometers 4 times, plus and extra kilometer at the beginning to get the full race. There were three water stations where you could choose the sports drink Pokkari Sweat or just water. It is flat with no hills.
These type of monthly races are nice for time trials and practice for more serious races. They general have races for different distances with staggered starts, often from 5k to a full marathon.
It was a cold windy day when this one was held and there weren’t that many runners—-only 50 in the half which had the largest number of people. In spite of the strong, varying wind, the times were faster than usual according to the staff.
I wouldn’t recommend traveling far just for this race, but if you are in the area and just want a fun race, or a tune up, this one would be worth is. You can usually enter up to a few days before the race.
