Tamako Ekiden is a great race that demands to be
run.
It is close to Tokyo, cheap and convenient to get to.
The legs are long enough to justify the journey.
The course is technical, with two demanding uphills and downhills and a lot of undulation.
The atmosphere is a lot of fun.
Entry is cheap.
And instead of a yet another T-shirt you get things as odd as fluorescnt
pink gloves (now collectors pieces).
