🌇 Yokohama Sunset 15K | Run the Bay to Chinatown 🏮

### 15K • Waterfront • Sunset • Night Views • Chinese Food

Join us for a special 15K social run through Yokohama! 🏃‍♀️🌊
We’ll start from Yokohama Station, run along the beautiful waterfront through Minato Mirai, watch the city light up as the sun goes down, and finish our run in Yokohama Chinatown — where we’ll celebrate with Chinese food together! 🥟🏮
This is not a race. We’ll run at a comfortable social pace, stay together, and take short breaks for water, photos, and the views along the way.

We’ll use a few waterfront loops along the way to make the total distance approximately 15 km.
The route may be slightly adjusted depending on pedestrian traffic and conditions on the day.

## 🌇 Sunset → Night Run

Starting around 5:15 PM means we’ll experience Yokohama changing from sunset into night.
As we run, Minato Mirai and the waterfront will gradually light up around us. 🌇✨🌃
Please wear something visible at night, and if you have a small running light or reflective gear, bringing it is recommended.

## 🏃 Pace & Level

This is a social run, not a race.
We’ll keep a comfortable group pace and have short stops along the way for:
💧 Water
📸 Photos
🌊 Enjoying the views
👥 Regrouping
However, this is still a 15K run, so please make sure you are comfortable running this distance before joining.
You don’t need to be fast, but this event is best for people who already run regularly.

## 🎒 Baggage

⚠️ Please travel light and bring only what you can comfortably run with.
This is a point-to-point run. We start near Yokohama Station and finish in Chinatown, so we will not return to the starting point after the run.
If you use a station locker for larger belongings, please remember that you’ll need to return and collect them yourself afterward.
A small running backpack or running belt is recommended.

## 🥟 After the Run — Chinatown Dinner!

After completing our 15K, it’s time for the reward. 😂

Joining dinner is completely optional, and everyone will pay for their own food and drinks.

## 🌊 Run • Explore • Eat

It’s about exploring Yokohama on foot, watching the waterfront transform from sunset into night, meeting new people, and ending the adventure around a table together.
Come alone or bring a friend — both are welcome!
