I ran Biwako Marathon 2023 Special!

On March 12, 2023, the full marathon "Biwako Marathon 2023" was held along the shores of Lake Biwa in the cities of Otsu, Kusatsu, and Moriyama in Shiga Prefecture. HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB ♡ members participated in this event, which was held for the first time as the successor to the "Lake Biwa Mainichi Marathon! Here is a look back on the 42.195 km journey, including before and after the race.

The finish venue for the rest is full of food and beverages!

In addition to the sponsors' booths, food and beverage stalls will be set up on the Karasuma Peninsula, the finish line venue. Not only the participating runners, but also their families and friends who came to cheer them on could enjoy local delicacies. Many people were relaxing on the grassy plaza at the venue.

At the Brooks booth, runners were able to try on and purchase the latest shoes. The booth attracted a lot of interest from runners.

An original shoe case is offered to visitors as a limited novelty. This environmentally friendly item is made of recyclable organic cotton.

In addition, there was a photo booth at the "Brooks" booth where you could take commemorative photos of the runners who completed the race. HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB♡ members also snapped a few photos.
