Gassan Ryujin Marathon 2019

The Gassan Ryujin (Half) Marathon is a homegrown road race where everyone's welcomed warmly from start to finish! The steady climb to the 10.5KM mark might fatigue your legs but you'll be flying to the finish line on this out-and-back course. Race through the rural calm of Shonai Town in the heart of Yamagata Prefecture and experience the Japanese "omotenashi" spirit with local cuisine, nature, and hospitality.
