October Run & Walk 2026

About this event

'October Run & Walk 2026' is an online event where participants compete with runners and walkers nationwide based on their running and walking records logged over the course of one month starting October 1, using smartphone apps such as 'TATTA' and 'Sports Town WALKER'. In Izumi City, 10 running courses have been prepared, including Central Park and the Komyoike Circuit Course, which can be utilized for building daily exercise habits or as training for the 'Shinodayama Cross-Country Race'. In the Walking Division, events include the 'Individual Step Count Ranking' competing in the number of steps over one month, and the 'Municipality & Prefecture Competition' where participants are divided by municipalities and prefectures to compete in average step counts. In addition, collaborative projects such as the 'Japan Slope Society Collaboration: Slope Encyclopedia' where participants can enjoy the history and interesting topography of slopes, and an attempt at a Guinness World Records™ title together with family and friends are also planned. In the Running Division, events include the 'Total Distance Ranking' competing in total running distance over one month, the 'Monthly Running Days Challenge' where the key to the challenge is the number of days run rather than speed or distance, and a challenge for a Guinness World Records™ title. Participation is free, though participants are responsible for their own communication data charges when using the apps. Anyone can participate.
