A large gathering of the community spun through running! The Spring Tanuki Festival 2024 will be held again this year.

TANNUKIHave you ever heard of the brand "〉"?

While the size and coloring are unlike sportswear, and the design easily fits in with everyday life, there are plenty of features that will make you happy when you try it on in the field. It is a Japanese sportswear brand with a unique stance that has gained popularity among gearaholic runners with a collection that seamlessly connects the mountains and the city.

On Saturday, May 11, "Spring Tanuki Festival 2024 - Machida Running Marche," an event organized by Tanuki, will be held.

The venue will be Machida Shibahiro, and more than 20 different brands will be on standby, including not only running communities and brands, but also local Machida restaurants. In addition to the booths, there will also be a group run open to anyone, a 42.195-meter race for parents and children/kids (advance reservations required), and a special lecture by Tanuki University.

We invite you to come and experience the current state of the Tanuki community, which has been weaving its way through running over the four years since its launch in 2020.
