STILL CALLING FOR EKIDEN RUNNERS

After letting the Okutama Ekiden A team down, I feel I should mention they are still looking for a runner.

Okutama is easy to get to, the team is strong, and the race is one of the best on the calender. So if you're feeling fast, please sign up for Namban's A team - or, if you want to take things a little easier, sign up for the B team and one of the B team runners can then move up into the A team.

I'd love to run it, but I have a Japanese exam on the same day.

Leave a message here or contact Namban Rengo via the website www.namban.org if you want to run.

Even if you're not currently a Namban member, we can sign you up to run.

Race fee is ¥2,000.
