Mitsubishi Hiroshima Ekiden Race Held for First Time in Four years

The Mitsubishi Hiroshima Ekiden Race was held for the first time in four years. A total of 32 teams (24 employee teams and 8 middle school teams), or about 260 people, participated in the race. It was a heated race with tournament records being broken. Additionally, around 120 kids joined the 1,000 m Mini Marathon (for elementary school-aged kids and younger), which was held simultaneously. The young, energetic runners dashed through the Kan-on Plant. The events were a great success!
