The Jubilo Iwata Memorial Marathon is a competition that connects professional sports and civic running in Iwata City, Japan.
It is operated by the Iwata Sports Association, and Jubilo Iwata and Iwata City participate together.
Held around Yamaha Stadium, the local sports culture known for soccer games is expanded to include road running.
The organizers set the purpose of the race as ‘Let’s fill Iwata with smiles,’ and created a place where runners who are challenging records and citizens who are competing for the first time can mingle together.
In addition to half marathon, there are 5km and 3km events.
There is a short distance category for elementary school students and their families, as well as Fun Run, which does not involve recording times.
In the family category, the meaning of running together was incorporated into the competition format by having two people hold hands and pass finish.
In the 5km and 3km races, costume participation and separate awards are held,
so the competitive nature of half marathon and the festival atmosphere of the short distance are combined in one event.
Local sports teams also shape the character of the competition.
Jubilo Iwata players will cheer on the participants at the stadium, and Shizuoka Blue Revs and Shizuoka SSU Bonita will also participate in the event.
Professional club officials participate in soccer and rugby experiences for children, creating opportunities for them to experience sports other than running.
As this is a competition that emphasizes the support of the entire region and citizen participation,
you can get up close to Iwata's soccer identity and the atmosphere of daily sports that families can enjoy together.
