I joined the Ojoka relay marathon. It became popular and now might be called a seasonal event of my hometown. Facing the rapid increase of applicants, the organizer decided to hold the event for two days. The first day was for groups of friends and the second was for workplace teams. My team was made up from members of the Matsuyama Chuo Lions Club and their friends. We were assigned to the first day. In the relay marathon several runners ran a circuit of 1.5km in turn with a sash in which an IC tip was sewn for recording the time and the lap numbers. I'm carrying it in the following picture. It was a good exercise and the get-together at night was a lot of fun.
