YOKOHAMA TO SHIBUYA

HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB♡ HNF Special
~I ran from Yokohama to Shibuya.

On October 13, 2019, HOUYHNHNM's 15th anniversary was celebrated with an event called "HNF (HOUYHNHNM's Fest)". While the event was threatened by a record-breaking typhoon, the start time was moved and the venue was rearranged, and the event managed to go ahead. HOUYHNHNM's running community "HOUYHNHNM Running Club♡" also participated by running from Yokohama to Shibuya, the festival venue. Here is a digest report of the day's events!

Crossing the Tama River, from Kanagawa Prefecture to Tokyo. And then to Shibuya, the finish line!

The runners proceeded north on Tsunashima Kaido Road, crossing the Tama River at Maruko Bridge and entering Tokyo from Kanagawa Prefecture. As they passed through the Musashi-Kosugi - Shin-Maruko area, there were dried traces of sludge on the side of the road. There were fresh traces of the typhoon.

From Nakahara Kaido to Komazawa Dori via Kannana. We have run more than 20 kilometers so far, but the runners are still full of energy.

We proceed eastward on Komazawa Street, passing through Himonya, Gohongi, and Yutenji, and passing the Naka-Meguro multi-level intersection where it intersects with Yamate Street. Finally, the goal is approaching!

Go through the intersection of Yarigasaki to Hachiman-dori. Then, take the promenade before the Namiki-bashi bridge toward Shibuya station, and finisch at Shibuya Stream!

At Shibuya Stream, the finishing point of the Huinamu festival, Hiroshi Yamamoto, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Huinamu and Deputy Director of Huinamu Running Club ♡, and the staff of BEAMS greeted us with high-fives. Yamamoto did not participate in the running because he was running the festival site for Huinamu, but he regretted it, saying "I wish I could have run too! I wish I could have run too!

After the finish, we toasted with beer! We started at 4:00 pm and arrived at the finish line after 8:00 pm. After a four-hour run, the beer was indeed a good way to soak into the body and the soul. Some continued drinking at the venue, some headed to the club where the after party was held, and others retired to a nearby izakaya (Japanese-style pub), all soaking up the afterglow of the day's run in their own way as the evening wore on.
