She averages more than 300 kilometers per month and actively participates in marathon and trail run races. She shares her experiences on her Instagram (@yuri1229) on a daily basis. Her positive attitude toward running and her sincere approach to races resonate with many runners, and as of March 2023, she has more than 43,000 followers.
Ms. Yuri wore this T-shirt on the day of the event. It was provided to all runners as a prize for participating in the Lake Biwa Marathon 2023. Before the race, Ms. Yuri asked us, "Since I'm going to run the marathon, I want to wear this T-shirt, because it's so cute! Because it's so cute," and of course, she agreed to wear it. Indeed, this T-shirt is cute, isn't it? By the way, the illustration on the front is a model of the shape of Lake Biwa.
