FIT For Charity Run 2024
Greetings from the Executive Committee
On the occasion of the 20th Anniversary
The FIT for Charity Run is now celebrating its 20th event this year. We are very pleased to be able to hold thiscommemorative event at the National Stadium with you. Once again, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to
the sponsoring companies who have supported and built FIT together over these 20 years long years; the volunteers
who have supported its operation, and the donor companies and individuals who have supported us in various ways.
This year, the FIT will be held in the summer for the second time since it first started, with more than 4,000 participantsfrom 103 companies (11 more than last year) including 58 sponsoring companies (6 more than last year). This year will
be another record-breaking hot summer, and the temperature is expected to be high on the day of the event. We would
like to ask that each individual take sufficient measures against heatstroke and put safety first.
Since the FIT is held in the summer, there were various challenges in terms of operation. The preparation period was
shorter than usual and we appreciate all the participants for their understanding and cooperation.
FIT are also supported by donors who provides free supplies, such as water and snacks. Companies involved not only
provide volunteer members but also offers various kinds of support such as food and drink, prizes for the raffle and kids
run, meeting rooms, and storage of goods. The past six months of preparation make us us realize once again that FIT
For Charity Run is something we have created together.
The cumulative donations for the FIT Charity Run reached 1 billion yen last year, and over the past 20 years, we havesupported more than 140 organizations. We ask for your continued support in contributing to society through the FIT
Charity Run in the next 20 years. We hope that this event will be enjoyable for all participants including volunteers.

Let’s Ask a Running CoachHow to Avoid Heat Stroke- Make sure to check the basic precautions you can take before and on the day of the race -If you are usually indoors with air conditioning and do not exercise outside, your body is not used to the heat. Be sure to
take precautions against the heat before and on the day of the race so you can safely cross the finish line.
< An example of basic precautions, how to prepare for the heat >✔ Train beforehand, sweat, and get used to the heat
✔ Drink water/fluids regularly✔ Drink sports drinks for exercise✔ Avoid alcohol the day before and sleep well
✔ Wear light-colored clothing and caps that do not absorb heat

It is important to drink fluids before you feel thirsty. Darker urine is a sign that you are not hydrated enough.
Check before you run and when you go to the bathroom.
Be aware of any physical changes, such as numbness in your hands, a fuzzy head, or white eyes.
If you experience any of these symptoms on the day of the race, it's important to stop immediately, hydrate, and cool down.
*If you experience any of these symptoms, please notify volunteer staff nearby.
