THE CHALLENGE RACE HIROSHIMA is a JAAF-certified event in Fukuyama, run on a 5 km loop along the Ashida River bank and starting at Ashida River Kawamachi Hiroba in Chiyoda-cho. Events are the full marathon (11,000 yen), 30 km (7,700 yen), half marathon (7,700 yen), 10K (5,500 yen), 5K (3,300 yen) and 1 mile (3,300 yen). Registration opens at 8:00, the opening ceremony is at 9:10, the main events start at 9:30 and the 1 mile at 9:33. Eleven pacer groups cover finish times from 2:40 to 4:20 for the full marathon. Time limits are 40 minutes for the 5K, 90 minutes for the 10K, 2:30 for the half, 3:12 for the 30 km and 4:30 for the full. Water and gel are offered at two points per lap, and runners line up five minutes before the start so they can warm up until then. The race is a designated event of the R.LEAGUE runner league, whose members get 10 percent off entry from their second start. There is no baggage storage; a baggage area stands beside registration, and parking is available in the park.
