An enjoyable event started this year in my hometown, which relays the distance of a full marathon with multiple runners. There's a park in the heart of the city and the 1.5 km of circle was made in the park and the race was to go round 28 times, with only the starter having to run an extra 195 meters. I attended the race as one of the members of the Matsuyama Chuo Lions Club Team. The race wasn't competitive, but one of the events held as a part of the local festival. We joined the race with 10 members and I ran 3 circuits.
Going around and around the same circle didn't look nice at first for me, but it meant running in front of the cheering group about every 10 minutes. It was very nice to see runners or to see supporters from the runner in spite of my advanced idea to the contrary.
