Maizuru Park will be the venue for a relay marathon where all the runners wear fancy dresses! The event was organized to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the sister city relationship between Fukuoka and Bordeaux. The 35 km race (35 laps of a 1km track) has been inspired by the Bordeaux Metropole Marathon, which hosts a relay event that takes participants through the city’s vineyards. Live performances from exciting bands and DJs are sure to provide a lively atmosphere inside Maizuru. Each team will receive three bottles of wine (red, white, and Château Pape Clément) for participating. A magnum of Clement will also be awarded to the team that wins the best costume award! After the run is over, participants will be able to take it easy and enjoy Bordeaux wine with delicious BBQ. Teams can register online until Dec. 11 (https://moshicom.com/11969/).
