Previously, Japanese marathons felt like the realm of gods, and with plane tickets, accommodation, and time, I didn't even dare to consider it. But this time, seeing the "15th Mt. Fuji Marathon Online Virtual Race" and that finishers directly receive a super beautiful Mt. Fuji medal and sports jacket…… Sorry, my wallet and sports soul awakened at the same time!!💸✨
No need to fly to Japan—just accumulate mileage within the limited 10 days using your phone APP in a nearby park, playground, or even on a treadmill, and the beautiful finisher gift will be delivered straight to your door! For marathon beginners, this is basically the perfect stepping stone to your dreams, right?
I thought registering for a Japanese event would be complicated, but after going through the process myself, I found it much easier than imagined! I've organized all the pitfalls and step-by-step instructions so you can give your unmotivated self a reason to run with me this summer “٩(ｰ̀ꇴｰ́)
🗻 Key event details highlighted for everyone:
Registration Period: 6/5 - 7/31 (Decide soon!)
Race Period: 8/8 - 8/17 (10 full days to accumulate at your own pace)
Challenge Categories & Self-Pay Fees:

Accumulating 10km or a half marathon in 10 days is really not hard—go for a walk or light jog after work, and even accounting for rainy days, there's plenty of time! No pressure at all!
