We are planning to hold a running event using the outer perimeter of the Imperial Palace (Kokyo in Japanese). Often referred to as the “Kokyo Run” for short, the running course is approximately 5 km per lap. Since it is a circular course, you can start freely from anywhere, and since there are no traffic signals, you can run nonstop. Many people enjoy running at the Imperial Palace, from beginner runners to experienced runners who run full marathons. Come and enjoy running with your classmates!
Date and Details will be announced.
