O tomto preteku
The PSS Imperial Palace Healthy Running series is a small, low-cost running event around Tokyo’s Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward, with autumn editions and other dates throughout the year. Runners can enter 5 km, 10 km, 20 km, or a 20 km relay. The individual races cost 1,000 yen, leading reviewers to consider it a practical way to get structured training rather than a major event. PSS Inc. organizes it as both a race and a practice session, with accessible entry rules and fields typically between 100 and 499 participants.
The start and finish are located by the clock tower inside Sakuradamon Gate, using the Imperial Palace loop course. The event emphasizes flexibility: late arrivals are permitted, same-day entry is allowed, runners can switch categories on the day, and participants who stop early will still be recorded for the distance they completed. The organizer states that unlisted distances, such as 15 km, can be accommodated, while maintaining cutoffs for longer distances, including lap requirements for the 20 km and a 5 km passing check for the 10 km. Timing is manual, every participant receives an award, and participation prizes are distributed. Reviews note its utility for marathon preparation because of the laps facilitating pace control.
