Ekiden 36 - Marathon en relais - 18ème édition

Experience the thrill of the Ekiden 36 marathon relay race during its 18th edition, set to take place on [date]. This unique competition challenges six runners per team over a full marathon distance—42.195 kilometers. The course is divided into segments: first leg (5 km), second (10 km), third (5 km), fourth (10 km), fifth (5 km), and the final sixth leg covering 7.195 km.
Teams must complete within a strict time limit of 4 hours and 45 minutes, with an additional safety measure in place: if the fifth runner does not finish their segment by 3 hours and 45 minutes, the race will automatically move to the next relay point for that team. This ensures both excitement and fair play.
