We had a fantastic turnout for the innagural Annual Half Marathon and 10K Race and BBQ on Sunday November 1 down by the Arakawa river near Akabane, in the North of Tokyo. Perhaps it was the lure of a BBQ cookup by the river afterwards, but the event proved wildy popular, with 30 runners in the 10k race, 22 runners in the half marathon, and almost 70 people joining the post-race BBQ. Thanks to everyone who joined for making it such a fantastic and memorable day out. And to everyone who missed out this time – never mind, we will be doing it again no doubt.
