The city of Tokyo becomes one
It's my favorite phrase.
Just by looking at the letters and humming, the chest will be excited.
"Tokyo Marathon 2024" was held on March 3 (Sun) under the clear sky.
There were about 37,000 participating runners.
That number of people ran around the city of Tokyo.
With the blue sky and windless, the buildings in the city cast shadows to block the direct sunlight, creating a comfortable course.
People who challenge, run, support, and support the competition.
The cheering people gathered after the period of self-restraint during the COVID-19 pandemic were playing with cheering, applause, and sounding.
The 1st Tokyo Marathon was held in 2007.
You can connect famous sights of the capital Tokyo and run on public roads.
It is a big sporting festival held in Tokyo.
There is no way to miss such an opportunity for citizen runners to participate.
At that time, I applied for runners throughout my workplace, but I couldn't go beyond the high magnification barrier.
Then, this also applied for a high magnification volunteer.
I wanted to manage to join the festival where Tokyo would become one.
Fortunately, I was able to participate as a volunteer in most of the past events.
This time, from the various circumstances surrounding society since the beginning of the year, there was another place where I couldn't get on my feelings.
It was the "Tokyo Marathon EXPO2024" held at Tokyo Big Sight that dispelled such moyamoya.
My main purpose is to receive the wear and caps needed on the day of the actual performance at the volunteer reception, but my heart has been shaken by the enthusiasm of runners gathering for athlete bibs and other goods one after another.
Multilingual flying around. A number of new products.
Booths of related municipalities and supporting companies were lined up to provide information on the latest systems, new products, and schedules for other running competitions.
And the lively voices of the moving people lit the inner line of energy.
The booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association was soon found.
The marathon course is set as if going around Chuo-ku.
The statue of "guardian angel of Running" Ida Tenson is enshrined at Daikanonji Temple in Ningyocho.
They also introduced related goods and souvenir sets.
The gachagacha of Chuo-ku's name Senshafuda was also watched with interest from overseas.
The volunteer activities were entered to be Chuo-ku, but the course management around Akihabara was elected and assigned.
It is a sacred place for Japanese anime, and on the day of the preliminary preview, there were places where many overseas customers could not move on the sidewalk.
The flow of people will be severe during the time of traffic regulation.
A free shuttle bus runs between the east and west of the road during the restricted time, and traveling by subway is also an option.
Preparations will be made to cooperate with the sports festival in Tokyo.
※ The three-lane road on each side is filled with many runners when the competition begins.
Some people go forward with the large spread of the group, even the curb, even the curb.
The speed is considerable, and you must pay close attention to contact between players and spectators.
Runners who stop and take pictures are also dangerous. Call out while watching the situation of the following person.
Both runners and supporters seemed to enjoy the festival safely and comfortably.
The sound created by the wheels of a competition wheelchair.
The sound created by the footsteps of a large number of people.
A gorgeous color whirlpool that can be created by overlapping the colors of the wear of runners passing by.
You can watch the runner in such a proximity.
The runner also smiles. People who support me also smile.
The festival where smiles are born is wonderful.
I would like to put myself next time at a festival where many people support each other.
