16th Sendai Relay Marathon (第16回 仙台リレーマラソン)

Relay marathons offer the unique opportunity for individuals to contribute their strength and speed towards achieving longer distances as part of a team. The Sendai City Athletics Stadium serves as both the starting point and finish line, with races taking place on a specially set course within Miyaganoharu Park that measures 1.4 kilometers per lap.
Participants can choose between two race options: a full marathon covering 42.195 kilometers or a shorter 10-kilometer event. The scenic route winds through the park's lush greenery and offers runners an exhilarating experience, whether they are seasoned athletes looking to push their limits or casual teams seeking fun and camaraderie.
The race welcomes all types of participants—from serious competitors to those dressed in costumes for a more lighthearted approach. It’s not just about running; it's also a chance to strengthen bonds among colleagues and friends, making this event an unforgettable day filled with joyous competition and shared achievements.
Entry fees vary depending on the race distance and team composition: 1,800 yen per person for the full marathon (42.195km), while teams participating in the shorter 10-kilometer run pay different rates based on their category—families or mixed groups of students cost 5,000 yen, with general adult mixed teams paying 7,000 yen.
This event promises to be a vibrant celebration of teamwork and athletic spirit set against the backdrop of Miyaganoharu Park's serene beauty.
