The Sportsmate Run Shin-Yokohama Tsurumi River Half Marathon is a Saturday event held near Shin-Yokohama Station, accessible within a 10-minute walk. It features a half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km race, all conducted on a flat riverside path suitable for beginners and those aiming for a specific time. The half marathon commences in the morning with a 3-hour cutoff, while the 10 km and 5 km races have no time restrictions. With an entry limit of 500 participants, this event is a local gathering rather than a large-scale city competition.
The route consists of a 5 km loop along the Tsurumi River, providing participants with repetitive, straightforward laps surrounded by greenery, even within its central Kanagawa setting. Junior high students and older individuals may compete in the half marathon and 10 km events, while the 5 km race is open to all ages. Participants receive bibs and race details at check-in, with automatic timing and same-day finish certificates. Organizers offer support throughout the race, present awards to the top three finishers in each category, and provide practical amenities like luggage storage, rain bags when necessary, and a paid service for securing valuables.
