About the Event

Kicking off the New Year with energy and excitement, the Spring Festival Miyoji Marathon Relay is set to take place on January 24, 2027. This vibrant race celebrates the start of the year with a unique blend of athletic competition and cultural festivities.
The event features three main categories: Jogging for younger participants and adults alike, where runners can choose from distances that suit their abilities; the Marathon for those seeking a longer challenge on scenic routes through Miyoji; and the Relay Race, which pits teams against each other in an exciting relay format. The race offers something for all levels of experience and skill.
Adding to the fun atmosphere is the appearance of Granpas's official mascot, "Gurara," who will be decked out in a traditional festival robe and cheering on participants throughout the day. Spectators can also enjoy various food stalls offering local delicacies from kitchen trucks stationed along the course.
A highlight for runners is an exclusive raffle with giveaways including high-end prizes such as Apple Watches for those lucky enough to win, adding an extra layer of excitement to their race experience.
Registration fees vary depending on age and event:
- For Jogging: Middle school students pay 500 yen while general participants are charged 1,000 yen.
- In the Marathon category: Middle schoolers still pay just 500 yen whereas adults incur a charge of 2,000 yen.
- The Relay Race has separate costs for adult teams (12,000 yen) and middle-school-aged groups (3,000 yen).
Whether you're looking to set personal bests or simply enjoy the festive spirit, this event promises an unforgettable start to your running year.
