There are many innovations for children to enjoy as well.
Another feature of this event is that it can be enjoyed not only by adults but also by children, who are the future leaders of the world. In addition to the half marathon, the race includes the Seaside Run (9.1 km) and the Kids Run (3.2 km for older children and 1.8 km for younger children), which elementary school students and their parents run together, allowing a wide range of participants, including those not normally familiar with running and families.
Workshops for children are also held for them to enjoy before and after the kids' run.
Goldwyn's "PLAY EARTH KIDS" project focuses on "play," "nature," and "children. The workshop, which was organized as part of Goldwyn's "PLAY EARTH KIDS" project focusing on "play," "nature," and "children," involved the creation of paper prints on the theme of lemons, a specialty of Setoda. Participants tear paper by hand to create the shape of the print, and then color it with crayons to create their own prints.
The pencils used for the preliminary drawings were "clothes pencils" made from scraps of clothing. Children enjoyed making paper prints while experiencing a sustainable product.
Kids Run participants can also make a collage of their numbers to accompany their artwork. For the children, it must have been a good memory of the Setoda Lemon Marathon.
