Teamwork, perseverance and the ability to excel under pressure. These are the values instilled in the Japanese-style, long-distance relay race, Mizuno Ekiden 2016.

After last year’s roaring success which saw 3,000 runners, the event will be back for its second edition on Saturday evening, 16 July 2016. 5,000 participants in teams of four are expected at The Promontory @ Marina Bay, which will kick off from 4:00 p.m.

True to its Japanese roots, the Ekiden relay race will have runners donning traditional tasuki sashes. Upon completing their relay leg, runners will pass the sash on to the next team member waiting at the transition area until the fourth runner crosses the finish line.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team members can dig in to a variety of Japanese gourmet like ramen and desserts at the Matsuri Race Village. Fitting the Matsuri – which means festival or holiday in Japanese – atmosphere, there will be exciting cultural activities for everyone to enjoy.

We are happy to bring back the Mizuno Ekiden for the second year, following last year’s success. We believe that the race provides runners a platform to showcase remarkable values such as teamwork, perseverance and camaraderie. It will also be an opportunity for runners and the community to come together and learn about the Japanese culture and participate in the many fun activities that are in-store for them.
—Mr Kiyoshi Tatani, President of Mizuno Singapore
