【猛暑対策】ピーエスエス皇居健康ランニング令和8年10月25日大会 2026

The PSS Imperial Palace Health Running is a small Tokyo race and practice session held at the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward. The start and finish are located near the clock tower inside Sakuradamon. It provides 5 km, 10 km, 20 km, and 20 km relay race options. Solo races cost 1,000 yen, and the relay is 4,000 yen. The participant count is modest, ranging from 100 to 499 runners. This event welcomes beginners and experienced runners seeking a measured training run instead of a large city race. Timing is done manually with a stopwatch and printer, aligning with the event's economical and practical nature. The course consists of laps around the Imperial Palace, allowing runners to view it as a controlled workout and finish with a recorded distance rather than a DNF. The organizer refers to it as Japan’s most relaxed race, permitting late arrivals, same-day registration, and on-the-day division changes, with custom distances accommodated. Strict cutoffs are in place: 5 km and 10 km events have a two-hour limit, and 20 km events have a two-hour and forty-minute limit. Participants find it useful for assessing current fitness, long-distance training, and full marathon preparation because of its affordability and structured format that emphasizes lap pace. Participation awards include sports drinks and izakaya meal vouchers, with all participants receiving an award.
