Mr.N
We were worried if we could start the race or not because of the heavy rain. However we started but a bit late than the schedule.
It was a course along with nature and interesting rural landscape. Because of the appropriate ups and downs, it was a gentle competition for the beginners.
Mr.O
I attended the evening party before the race day and interacted with volunteers and organizers which made me feel comfortable running with a feeling like at home. It was a heavy rain, but I could you feel the nature. Next year I would like to run with my family while watching the golden paddy field.
Ms.A
It was my first time to participate marathon race in Japan.
Because of the warm welcome of the people and beautiful rural landscape, even people like us who could only communicate in English had great time and enjoyed running. The Takayama city was near from the competition venue and we could easily do sightseeing. We had great time and looking forward to visiting Takayama again in future.
