Sunday Morning Kamakura 5K Run!
詳細
Spring Coastal 5K: City to Sea! Join our Yokohama running and hiking club for a special spring weekend run! On April 12th, we’re taking a quick trip down to Kamakura for a scenic, beginner-friendly 5K. We'll start right in the heart of the city, jog up to a historic shrine, and then cruise down the main avenue all the way to the coast to catch the ocean breeze. It's a fantastic mix of culture, nature, and city running. Whether you're aiming for a new personal best or just want a relaxed weekend jog with the group, come hit the pavement with us!
