(2024.01.23) “Eco Inba Slow Marathon 2024”
Inzai City International Friendship Association (IIFA) is organising “Eco Inba Slow Marathon 2024" taking place on Sunday, April 7, 2024.
The purpose of this event is to, together with some fifty runners from Singapore, promote the international friendship and enjoy the beautiful spring of Inzai City by slowly running/walking a half marathon distance (approx. 21km), picking up trash along the path to beautify the environment.
The course runs through famous cherry blossom spots such as Matsumushi-dera Temple, Yoshitaka's Great Cherry Blossoms, the cycling road near Lake Inba-numa, and Inba Chuo Park, stopping by at the Cherry Blossom Festival being held at Yoshikiri Light Nursing Home (1844-2 Seto, Inzai City) where you can dip your feet into the “Ashiyu” hot spa.
