At Tome-city, Miyagi Prefecture – this April, we will host the biggest “Fun Run” and the only full-marathon in Miyagi at the heart of the Tohoku region. Runners will enjoy a stretch of pastoral scenery and the beautiful lakeside of Naganuma.
With the kind cooperation of the French Marathon du Medoc, we are thrilled to host the Tohoku Food Marathon and Festival 2016 that will feature wonderful food and sake from all regions of Tohoku, a field trip to a local sake brewery, a walking tour to a local rice field, and a tour to see the restoration effort of the devastated area of Minami-Sanriku. It will be an event that runners, children, volunteers, tourists, and residents alike can enjoy.
The Tohoku Food Marathon is a complete event gathering participants not only from within Japan but also from around the world with the aim of helping revitalize tourism to Tohoku.
