How to Be Part of the ASICS World Ekiden 2022

Taking its inspiration from the Japanese running culture, the ASICS World Ekiden returns for the 3rd year and challenges teams to complete a marathon distance over the course of six legs of varying distances from 5 – 10km.

Teams must pass their digital tasuki – the narrow band of fabric used traditionally in Ekidens – from one leg to the next, working together in the true spirit of Ekiden for the team to succeed.
