"Let's run the Tokyo Marathon."
A word that came out of the momentum of sake at the launch of work.
One of them will take that story.
"There is also a TV broadcast, and it's cool if the deciding pose is reflected."
"I can't run a marathon. It's an ambulance on the way."
"Because the magnification is high, it's not always possible to participate. Let's enter, also as a test of luck."
"Don't betray me. I'm sure everyone will register."
The next day, the uncles at work went to the computer with momentum, taking care of the lack of daily exercise.
The result of the incoming call a few months later is:
All fails to magnification exceeding 10 times.
It is quite difficult to be selected as a 35,000 runner.
Even so, once you start moving, you go to the next goal.
We are looking for volunteers to support the tournament.
Yes, this is it.
In 2014, international competitions such as the Sochi Winter Olympics and the Soccer World Cup will continue.
The heat ignited the feeling of "I have to do something."
And with the decision to hold the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, a clear goal was set in my heart.
Six years later, if I could get involved in some way, wouldn't it be nice?
Volunteers of the Tokyo Marathon can register their activity area as desired.
In that case, let's make it in Chuo-ku.
The decision notice is Nihonbashikayabacho, 15 wards of the Ginza / Nihonbashi area.
My role is to let the runner know where the toilet is located.
It's an important task, though sober, when needed, is always higher priority.
(If you have experienced it, you can understand it.)
On February 23 (Sun), concerns about record snowfall over the previous two weeks were cleared.
Occasionally, the sound of a flute drum flows in the tight air, where snow hits the wind.
This is a support performance in front of the nearby Metropolitan Taka Kabuto-cho parking lot.
A musical accompaniment by a local group in Chuo-ku.
Music performance of elementary school students.
I feel so excited.
When wheelchair runners and top groups appear, cheering spreads out.
In the afternoon, the sun came out.
A player who runs through the scenery of the city.
A player in elaborate costumes that reminds me of the costume prize. (I think it's hard to run as much as I stand out.)
The desired running and the wave of people pass in front of you one after another.
It seems that the number of participants from overseas has increased.
The Tokyo Marathon has joined the World Marathon Majors since 2013.
This is the world's top race, alongside the Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and Empire City Marathon.
I have a tooth that doesn't come out to a foreign runner with a troubled face.
Respond with gestures and smiles of suffering.
I managed to get through.
Next time, let's be able to guide you a little more smoothly.
On the return trip, go to the color cone in the center of the street and cheer.
Wave your hands, applaud, and call out.
You will receive a reply with a high touch or bow.
Even with just the gaze you throw, you can convey that thought.
My eyes became hot, and for a moment I saw the scenery of the building.
Volunteers made up of 10,000 people.
That age was quite wide.
I was a little sorry for the elderly because I kept standing all the time, but to the extent I was involved without overdoing it.
I think it's enough if you have a feeling of having fun together.
At the time of disbanding, my voice was heard and my feet became bread.
It was a pleasant fatigue.
make a reservation for lunch in a situation where the afternoon schedule was packed with many people, so it was helpful.
At the venue, in addition to exhibiting the history of the Tokyo Marathon, booths such as official support companies, companies dealing with general sports-related goods and food, co-sponsored media and marathon-related organizations, Tokyo-related booths, etc. lined up and are surprised at the bustle!
