Since the inaugural run in 2005, there have beenover 50,000 participants from the financial industry in the Tokyo area contributing over half abillion yen to 70 different charities. This is an incredible testament to the financial industry’s
sustained commitment to make a positive difference in society and in the lives of people in theKanto and Tohoku (2011) communities.”
Co-chairperson Rumi Matsukata added: “Due to the National Stadium redevelopment, thisyear's event was held at the Meiji Jingu Gaien course without having a stadium and it wassimilar to our earlier events held around the Imperial Palace from 2005 to 2007. Despite thisenvironment change, we had 52 sponsor and supporter companies and approximately 5,900
people came together to volunteer, run and walk for charity today. We would like to take thisopportunity to thank the Japan Cycling Association, Meiji Jingu Gaien, Sponsors, Supporters,
in-kind donors, volunteers and all the people who have helped us tremendously till today.
Without their support, today’s event would not have been such a success.
