広島県　第5回　IDATENチャレンジ　風薫る中央森林公園ハーフマラソン

Central Forest Park serves as the venue, offering a more runner-organized challenge than a polished big-event production. This 5th edition, titled “Central Forest Park Half Marathon,” explicitly welcomes beginners, suggesting a low-key opportunity to test yourself without the pressure of a large race organization. The main practical quirk is that "to lower the entry fee, there is no automatic timing." Participants manage their own timing with minimal organizer support. There is no mailed pamphlet or pre-race packet, only an email from Moshicom. Runner perks include size-selectable, made-in-Japan IDATEN socks, similar to those worn by elite athletes in the New Year Ekiden and Hakone Ekiden, along with Hattendo sponsor items, energy gels, and a light meal post-race.
