O tomto preteku
The Hakata Bay Evening Sky Scenery Marathon is an afternoon running event at Marina Town Seaside Park in Fukuoka’s Nishi Ward, centered on running beside the bay as the evening sky arrives. It features individual 20 km, 10 km, and 5 km races, along with a 20 km team relay, all utilizing a 2.5 km loop course. Individual participants must be at least 15 years old, and relay teams can consist of 4 to 8 members.
The event maintains a small, local scale: each individual distance is limited to 100 runners, and the relay is capped at 30 teams. The 20 km race has a 140-minute time limit, the 10 km race has 80 minutes, and the 5 km race has 40 minutes, making it suitable for runners who prefer a steady pace over a casual fun run. In the relay, teams exchange a timing chip at designated points, with individual runners completing one or more laps before handing over. Feedback from similar events by the same organizer indicates a course that can be technical, with park visitors, vehicles, and navigation presenting challenges, and aid stations might be basic.
