【7月5日開催】第78回貝塚市民陸上競技大会 2026

Entry to the Kaizuka Citizen Athletics Meet, a July track-and-field event held at Kaizuka Citizen Fureai Sports Plaza in Kaizuka, Osaka, is free. The day begins with an opening ceremony. The Kaizuka City Athletics Association, which also oversees several local road and relay races, organizes the meet. It is open to all ability levels, not just elite athletes, and is expected to draw between 100 and 499 participants. The athletics meet itself does not feature a road course; it takes place at the sports plaza. The organizing association's broader schedule includes the Nishi-no-Hama Marathon, the Kaizuka Citizen Ekiden Race, and an 8-hour relay marathon on the Nishi-no-Hama Park loop. Feedback on these other events notes flat sections, tight turns, a half marathon with varied terrain, student volunteers assisting participants, and a field that can be unexpectedly competitive for a local competition.
