About the Event
This trial run previews the Kitakyushu Marathon route, turning around at Komorie Station rather than at Mojiko as in the actual race. It starts at 9:00 at the Shinkansen ticket gates on the 3rd floor of JR Kokura Station, with exercises and a running lesson at 9:05 covering form, uphill and downhill running and stretching. Runners choose a finish point: Space World Station (9 km), Edamitsu Station (10 km), Tobata Station (14 km), Kyushu Kogyodai-mae Station (15 km), Kokura Station (21 km), Moji Raku no Yu (26 km), Komorie Station (28 km), or the full 34 km back at Kokura Station, finishing around 16:00. Anyone can drop out along the way, and beginners can enter a shorter distance and extend on the day. The pace is about 7 to 8 minutes per kilometer, with a convenience-store and toilet break roughly every 40 minutes. No aid or food is provided, so buy your own at the stops. There is no baggage storage; use station lockers or a backpack. Distances may be cut short if the weather turns, and the event is cancelled only in disaster-level conditions. The group does not slow dramatically to bring everyone to the finish together. 100 yen from each entry is donated to the Noto Peninsula disaster area.
