The 69th Matsudo City Nanakusa Marathon (第69回松戸市七草マラソン)
About the Event
On January 10, 2027, runners of all ages are invited to participate in a unique running experience that combines convenience and comfort with the thrill of competition. The race offers both 5km and 10km distances for participants looking to challenge themselves or simply enjoy a scenic run. A key feature of this event is the use of net timing technology for both distance categories, ensuring accurate records regardless of starting position on the day. To streamline check-in procedures, all runners receive pre-issued number cards with integrated timing chips via mail prior to race day, eliminating the need for separate chip pick-up at the venue. The route itself winds through scenic and well-maintained paths that highlight local landmarks and natural beauty points along the way. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace or are accompanying runners as spectators, free shuttle buses will be available from designated locations around town to transport participants directly to the race start line. Post-race amenities include on-site food stalls offering refreshments for both participants and their supporters, providing an opportunity to socialize and enjoy local flavors. Additionally, hydration stations along the 10km course ensure that runners stay hydrated throughout their run. Entry fees vary based on age categories: adults pay ¥4,500; families (two or more members) can register at a discounted rate of ¥3,500 per person; high school students are charged ¥1,600; and elementary and middle school participants enjoy an even lower entry fee of ¥800. This event promises to be not just a race but also a community gathering that celebrates fitness and the joy of running. With its thoughtful setup and inclusive pricing options, it welcomes runners from all walks of life to come together for a memorable day out in January 2027. Join us as we celebrate health, camaraderie, and achievement on this special date!
