Ai LOVE Relay Marathon 2026 - MERRY Hashirimasu

About this event

Held in Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture, 'Ai LOVE Relay Marathon 2026 ~MERRY Hashirimasu~' is a smile-filled relay marathon event where participants join forces with family, friends, and coworkers to pass the sash. Its appeal lies in working together toward the finish line rather than competing for speed, making it ideal for those who are not confident in running, parents and children wanting to make memories, or anyone looking to enjoy healthy activities with peers. Running laps around a specially designed course of approximately 1.5 km per lap, the event is tailored so that anyone can easily take part regardless of age, gender, or disability. Four categories are offered: Ai LOVE Run, Good Job Run, Athlete Run, and Memorial Run, with teams consisting of 3 to 12 runners. Participants are provided with participation prizes, a complimentary buffet, lap awards and other prizes, and a finisher certificate (issued online), making post-race dining one of the fun highlights. On the Sunday right before Christmas, it is the perfect event for making year-end memories by running with laughter, cheering each other on, and feeling interpersonal connections and a sense of accomplishment.
