Sobre esta prova
The PSS Imperial Palace Kenko Running meet is a small Tokyo running event held inside Sakuradamon Gate, with the reception and start located near the Imperial Palace Clock Tower. Taking place in October, it features 5km, 10km, 20km, and 20km relay race options. The longer races typically begin earlier in the morning, with all events concluding by 11:00 AM. Individual participation costs 1,000 yen, while the relay is 4,000 yen. The event limits solo races to 100 runners each and relay races to 25 teams.
The course consists of laps around the Imperial Palace, allowing participants to use it for a controlled workout rather than a large-scale public event. Beginners are welcome, but cutoffs are enforced: 20km runners must begin their fourth lap by 10:15 AM, and 10km runners must pass the 5km mark by the same time. PSS fosters a relaxed, practice-session atmosphere, permitting late arrivals, same-day entry, and event changes. Runners who stop early are recorded for the distance completed. Timing is done manually with a stopwatch and printer. All participants receive an award, and participation gifts include a sports drink, an izakaya meal ticket, and a magnetic chip.
