Half Marathon Relay RUNS:INTO KK
A Nighttime Half Marathon Relay with Friends on the KK Line!!
The stage for this pre-event to the Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships is the KK Line (Tokyo Expressway), long known as an urban expressway running through the heart of Tokyo.
In April of this year, the KK Line completed its role as a roadway and is now being transformed into a new public space —
a “once-in-a-lifetime” location in the midst of transition.
Let’s come together and experience the joy of running in this unique and special place!
