The NAGANO Marathon was first held in 1999, the year after the 1988 Nagano Olympics, as a commemorative event. The number of athletes this year is around 10,000 all over the world.
Unfortunately, it’s a cloudy today and the snow-capped mountains of the Northern Alps Japan are not visible, but peach blossoms are in full bloom to welcome you.
As I write this blog, you are still running, right?
An hour and a half left until the time limit ^^; Hang in there everyone!
