雨の中を歩こう: 東京ヤマソンにおける悪天候への準備方法

October is upon us, and with it comes the Tokyo Yamathon! While we’re all hoping for clear skies, the average weather in Tokyo this time of year tends to be on the wet side. That’s why it’s essential to be prepared in case the rain decides to join you on your journey.

10月がやってきました。そして、東京ヤマソンも間近です！晴れの日を願っていますが、この時期の東京の天気は、平均して雨が多めです。だからこそ、旅路に雨が伴う場合に備えて準備しておくことが重要です。

Walking 40 kilometers is a challenge in itself, but throw in some rain, and it becomes a test of both your physical and mental resilience. Don’t worry though – with the right preparation and gear, you’ll be able to conquer the Yamathon no matter what the weather brings.

40キロを歩くこと自体がチャレンジですが、そこに雨が加わると、心身の耐久力が試されます。でも心配しないでください。適切な準備とギアがあれば、どんな天候でもヤマソンを乗り越えることができます。

重要なお知らせ: 登録内容の変更とサポートについて

For the Tokyo Yamathon, we use RUNNET to manage all event registrations. RUNNET is a widely-used platform in Japan for race and endurance event sign-ups, offering participants an easy way to register, handle payments, and access event details.

Please Note: RUNNET is not an IVG-Japan service. We use RUNNET just like many other running, walking and endurance events in Japan, which means we do not own, manage the platform or have access rights to your registration data .

As a result, we cannot make any changes to your registration information, such as team details, name adjustments, or other support requests.

If you need to update your registration or require support, you must visit your registration page on RUNNET and request help through their services. Since we do not have access to RUNNET’s internal systems, we cannot guarantee a timely or satisfactory response to your requests—this is entirely up…

Participants of the Yamathon often bring a variety of snacks and drinks to keep their energy up throughout the day. Here are some common choices:

東京ヤマソンで子供と一緒に歩くことはできますか？

Question: Can I Walk with My Child in the Tokyo Yamathon?

Yes, children can participate in the Tokyo Yamathon!

This charitable giving walkathon is not only a great way to stay active but also an excellent opportunity for parents to teach their children about community service, volunteering, and the importance of contributing to society. It’s also a wonderful way for parents and children to spend quality time together and bond over a shared challenge.

However, it's important to note that parents or guardians are fully responsible for the care and well-being of their children during the event. While we believe the Yamathon offers a positive and rewarding challenge, it’s crucial for parents to use sound judgment.

Question: Are assisted mobility participants able to join the Tokyo Yamathon?

Answer: Yes, assisted mobility participants are welcome and encouraged to join the Tokyo Yamathon! However, it's important to be aware of the obstacles you may encounter while navigating the regular streets of Tokyo.

The Yamathon is a street navigation challenge, so you'll need to be prepared for varying terrain and conditions.

We strongly recommend having an emergency contact readily available and bringing essential safety items such as hydration supplies, weather-appropriate gear, and any necessary personal medications.

Question: Is the Tokyo Yamathon stroller-friendly?

Answer: Yes, the Tokyo Yamathon is stroller-friendly, but there are a few important points to keep in mind. Participants must be in a team of 2 to 4 people, and all members, including those with strollers, must obey traffic rules and demonstrate common sense and good manners when walking on the sidewalk.

Please remember that the Yamathon is a street navigation challenge, not a marked course, so you'll be navigating through various public spaces. It's essential to stay aware of your surroundings and ensure that your stroller use does not impede other participants or pedestrians.
