The "44th Yabuki Town Refreshing Health Marathon - Minna Deppe -" will be held on Sunday, October 25, 2026, in Yabuki Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Set against the early autumn scenery of Yabuki Town, the event promises to be a day where participants break a pleasant sweat and taste local specialties.
