About the Event
A group preview run over the new Tsukuba Marathon course, open to people who are not entering the race itself. It targets beginners but also serves as a long slow distance session for stronger runners. Runners without confidence can enter a shorter distance and extend on the day. Most participants come alone. Meet at the Kenkyu-Gakuen Station ticket gate at 9:00, followed by gymnastics and a running lesson at 9:05 on form, running uphill and downhill, and stretching. Finish points are Tsukuba Station at 15 km (around 12:00) and 22 km (around 14:00), or Kenkyu-Gakuen Station at 30 km (around 15:00). The pace is 7 to 8 minutes per km with a convenience store break about every 40 minutes, and there are no aid stations, so runners buy their own food and drink. Leaving early is allowed, the event goes ahead in rain, and a missed session can be transferred once but is not refunded. 100 yen from each fee goes to the Noto Peninsula disaster area.
