The Kagawa Marugame International Half Marathon,which traces its route through the streets of Sanuki in the early spring, opens this year for the 77th time as a firm fixture in the Marugame calendar, and has become one the winter seasonal markers.
Our race is the first case in Japan to be granted the Elite Label status half marathon section by World Athletics(WA).
also 77th race is authorized the Elite Label status.
That we are able to host such an internationally acclaimed event is no doubt down to the efforts of everyone connected to its organization, and the gift of cooperation and understanding from the people of Marugame, for which I am truly grateful.
