The Setoda Lemon Marathon has given us a glimpse into the future of marathons.

Goldwin is the main sponsor of the Setoda Lemon Marathon. The 3rd Setoda Lemon Marathon was held on February 23, 2025. The event was held as a result of a partnership between Goldwin and Setoda Lemon Marathon. The event was held as a result of a partnership between Goldwyn and Goldwyn. What did the participants think and feel through the marathon and their stay on the remote islands? We caught up with Sakurako Fukuchi, Dean Aizawa, and Akemi Rodley, who participated in the half marathon, to find out.

The latter part is seaside with a spectacular view of the Seto Inland Sea.

After circling Takanejima and returning to Ikuchijima, the second half of the tour will begin. The 9-kilometer round-trip run is along the seaside with ocean views of the Seto Inland Sea.

First to return to Ikuchijima was Sakurako. At this point, she is the number one female and doing quite well.

Next up was Dean. He commented, "The ups and downs are getting to me.... My legs are tight, but I'll do my best for the next half of the race.

Akemi also arrived at Ikuchijima. As you can see, she still looks comfortable.

At the last aid station beyond Sunset Beach, you will find lemons, a specialty of Ikuchishima. After turning around here, there are only about 4 kilometers to go.
