Ecomarathon Kanazawa 2025

Have you ever dreamed of running in the Land of the Rising Sun? 🌅 Well, here's the perfect opportunity for you! 🫵

The Ecomarathon of Kanazawa located in the beautiful city of Kanazawa, in the Ishikawa prefecture, in Japan 🇯🇵 is a must for any runner 🏃‍♂️. The event, taking place in September 🍂, offers 3 timed races ⏱️ of 5 km, 10 km and 21 km. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, you'll have the opportunity to run along the cycle path that runs alongside the Saigawa river 🎣. If you've come for a family day out, a parent-child race 👩‍👦 of 5 km is organized and it is non-timed. In any case, you will start at 11 a.m., and since the races are limited to 200 participants in total, you won't risk being trampled when the start is given 🤓.

With several other sports events organized, particularly in the prefectures of Saitama, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Kumamoto (but mainly in Tokyo 🌸) the Ecomarathon positions itself as an environmentally conscious 🌳 and socially engaged organization 🎗️. This year, it is possible to donate to the international refugee support association: Second Harvest Japan. The first food bank in Japan, the organization is committed to ensuring that everyone has access to food 🍲.

If you plan to extend your stay and visit the area, the Ishikawa prefecture is full of tourist attractions for young and old alike! 🤗 Be sure to not miss the must-sees like the Japanese garden Kenroku-en, one of the three most beautiful in Japan 🤩. For art enthusiasts, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art will be a treasure trove! 🖼️ Lastly, how about a detour to the old town and the castle? 🏯 It's a must to understand the traditional Japanese craftsmanship in artisanal crafts and in feudal architecture 🤓.

Lace up your shoes and come run for the planet! 🌍
