Okinawa - 4 recommended events in December

NAHA Marathon, an event recommended for sports enthusiasts!　This event starts at Ounoyama Park and runs around Naha City, Haebaru Town, Yaese Town, Itoman City, Tomigusuku City, centering on Heiwakinen Park. It is now a sporting event that represents not only Okinawa but also in Japan, and many runners from outside the prefecture and overseas gather.

Of course, there are a lot of fun in the event itself. Until now, artists and popular actors from Okinawa Prefecture have been used as starters, and in the past, athletes who have participated in the Olympics as guest runners. Around the course, children's Eisa folk dance and band artists sing, perform and dance.

In addition, the support provided along the roadside, you can see that food unique to Okinawa is being inserted. The appearance of cheering people to send cold water, sports drinks, rice balls that can be eaten with one hand, etc. to runners is a sight often seen at any marathon event. However, in the NAHA Marathon, various things are actually distributed, such as somen, Okinawa soba, and beef bowls. Some hand over Jushionigiri made at home. On the day of the event, please pay attention to the contents of the inserts distributed along the road.

In a variety of fun, the goal is close to the goal. The appearance of a runner with the utmost effort, even though others, may come to your chest. Why don't you enjoy such excitement that tourists and locals can be united regardless of?

※The support scenery along the above roads will be articles before 2019.
