Running

Japan is a country of 10 million runners and some 2,000 open-entry running events, the most popular of which attract large crowds and live nationwide TV coverage.

Japan loves not just the action but also the drama of an event such as ekiden, a unique form of long-distance relay with a century of tradition.

And in Plus One, we experience the fun of a local running event.
