Ecomarathon de Yodogawa de Novembre

Embark on an unforgettable running adventure through Japan’s vibrant Osaka Prefecture this November. The Yodogawa Ecomarathon welcomes runners to its scenic course along the banks of the Yodo River, nestled within the bustling Yodogawa district.
Choose from three race options tailored to every runner's preference: a half marathon for those seeking a challenge, a timed 10-kilometer run for solo enthusiasts, and a parent-child 5-kilometer event that promises fun for all ages. The races commence at precisely 11:00 AM in the heart of Osaka, following an easy-to-navigate bike path alongside the river. With its flat terrain, this race is ideal whether you're a novice runner or looking to improve your personal best.
The Yodogawa Ecomarathon accommodates up to 300 participants, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free start line experience. The event also aligns with Japan’s commitment to environmental sustainability and social causes. This year, runners can contribute to Second Harvest Japan, the nation's pioneering food bank dedicated to addressing hunger across communities.
Osaka itself is a city rich in history yet ever-evolving, seamlessly blending traditional culture with modernity. From its renowned culinary delights to vibrant shopping districts and cultural attractions, there’s something for everyone here. Extend your stay beyond race day to explore Shin-Osaka Station Museum, which offers insights into the railway network that connects Osaka Prefecture.
For a taste of Japan's traditional customs, visit Sentō (public baths) or Onsen (traditional hot springs), where you can relax and rejuvenate in serene surroundings. The Kazaki Shrine stands as an educational hub for those curious about Shinto culture.
