52nd Matsufucho Shoshin Road Race Festival (第52回 松伏町新春ロードレース大会)

Located just 30 kilometers from the heart of Tokyo, the Matsufucho Race offers runners an inviting and scenic course through natural surroundings. This race is designed to cater to all levels of experience, with its nearly flat terrain making it ideal for first-time participants.
The event features two main distances: a popular 10km route that has gained widespread acclaim since its introduction in the previous year, as well as a more accessible 5km option suitable for runners and families alike. Additionally, there is a shorter 3km category designed specifically for young athletes to enjoy an engaging racing experience.
Participants can look forward to receiving special local products if they secure a top finish in their respective categories. Beyond that, all competitors will have the chance to enter into a raffle draw with attractive prizes up for grabs.
Entry fees are as follows: 2800 yen for the 10km race, 2300 yen each for both the 5km and 3km races, 500 yen per child or middle school student, 1000 yen for high school students, a family package of one adult and one child at 2500 yen, and teams participating in relay events pay 6000 yen.
This event promises not only competitive racing but also an opportunity to explore the picturesque landscapes around Matsufucho. Whether you're looking to challenge yourself or simply enjoy running amidst nature, this race offers a unique blend of competition and relaxation on January 17, 2027.
