Get your game on for the 28th Chubu Walkathon

In anticipation of the 2020 Olympics, just over a year away, the 28th Chubu Walkathon International Charity Festival will feature lots of physical activities. The kind of activities that are common at western sports days ( undokai ) which will prove entertaining for participants and spectators alike.

Walkie Winning a Race

There is bound to be lots of healthy rivalry and challenges, but it is expected to be good family fun as opposed to a fierce family feud.

There will be two sessions, one for the kids (Elementary School and younger) and one for adults (Middle School and up). Each session will involve rotating through 4 different areas, each featuring a different event.

Teams are limited to a maximum of 4 people. Participants are encouraged to arrange their own teams (family, co-workers, friends, whatever), but don't worry, if you are on your own, you can sign up and be placed on a team.

If you would like to participate, please head over to the Team Registration Desk as soon as you have checked in and collected your Walkathon T-Shirt.
