Beginners' Marathon Trial Run in Kumamoto Castle

About this event

A test run event for beginners covering the Kumamoto Castle Marathon course. It is set at a slower pace with longer break times than the January 23 session. It can be used not only by beginners, but also as an LSD (Long Slow Distance) run for experienced runners. This year, the course will not stop by Kumamoto Castle, which is the official race's finish line, and because it starts and finishes at Kumamoto Station, some sections of the course will not be run. Even if you are not confident in your running stamina, you can register for a shorter category and extend the distance on the day if you still have energy. With frequent breaks at convenience stores and the option to drop out along the way, anyone can participate with peace of mind. Many people join on their own, making it easy to casually interact with first-time acquaintances. Lessons on running form and other techniques are also held before the run, making this an event beginners can join without worry.
