THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT.

Every runner has their reason to run. We thought long and hard about how we could support our runners and their motivation for running under the current severe circumstances. After long and deep consideration, we decided to organize an “Online Marathon”.

“I run to improve my personal best.” “I run because I want to challenge myself and change.” “I run to show support to my hard-working daughter.” “I run as an oath to fight against my sickness.” “I run as a proof of my living.” --Every runner had a different story, but what they had in common was the positive energy to try the Nagoya Women’s Marathon for a better future. We have had 181,548 entries in the nine years of our history and received an overwhelming amount of passions and personal stories of runners for our race. Our only wish is to meet our runners’ expectations and support them fulfilling their dreams.

Our finisher items are now seen as one of the highlights of the Nagoya Women’s Marathon and have celebrated 138,707 women runners in the past eight years. They supported, encouraged, witnessed and became proof of our proud challengers. They have become a lifetime memory for the finishers, as well as a token of their confidence, power and pride.

We the Nagoya Women’s Marathon wish to continue to send cheers to our challengers. This online marathon program is our best possible way to show solidarity with our respected challengers in the current situation. We always wish to be at the side of joy and smiles of those who strive to reach their goals. We will continue to make the utmost effort to bring at least a part of the excitements they could have felt in Nagoya on race day and celebrate runners who have completed their journey and made their dream come true.

We would sincerely appreciate your understanding to this program.
