The Nagoya Shachihoko Trial vol.9 is a running event held in late May at Shonai Green Park in Nagoya. Participants can choose from four distances: 30 km, half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km. This event is designed for runners seeking a timed race experience that accommodates various goals, from those training for a marathon to groups opting for a shorter run together.
The race organizes runners based on their target finish times, assigning bib numbers accordingly. This allows participants to run with others who have similar pace objectives. The course is described as straightforward and conducive to achieving a good time. The event also incorporates Nagoya's local character through food stalls offering local-style cuisine, Nagoya-themed prizes for top finishers, custom long-sleeve T-shirts, complimentary race photos, a photo booth, and a post-race gachapon machine.
