BBC ラジオオクスフォードのお陰で、イギリスの皆に箱根駅伝、日本の駅伝文化について報告出来ました。スタートから10分後。Thanks to BBC Radio Oxford for having us on to talk about the FT Nikkei UK Ekiden yesterday afternoon. We are on 10 mins after the start.https://https://lnkd.in/eWYBEpwm

Fabulous to see the UK Ekiden featured in the South China Morning Post today, and also to see it featuring one of our runners flying over from Tokyo for the race, Yorichiro! It's not long now, and weather forecasts says it's going to be sunny. It's the final countdown, and is so exciting to know that people around the world are counting down with us! Thank you SCMP Julian Ryall for featuring this news! #ukjapan #ukekiden #ftnikkeiukekiden #ukinjapan #scmp https://lnkd.in/ehzSeBYG

FT Nikkei UK Ekiden … 2 weeks to go! Lots of people have asked why we are doing it? Well, the list of reasons is long but one of them is to show the iconic and beautiful Thames Path views to the runners and all those cheering them on. It’s great to get out into the countryside, and the Emperor of Japan liked it so much he even wrote a book about it, “The Thames and I.” www.ukekiden.com #ukekiden #ukjapan

Want something to brighten your day? Check out our cute little Eki and Den mascots for the FT Nikkei UK Ekiden, developed by our wonderful illustrator Tabitha Woddis. We have uploaded some resources to our website about Ekidens for schools in collaboration with The Japan Society and Harrow International School Appi which will hopefully bring the FT Nikkei UK Ekiden to life for lots of school children on the day. https://lnkd.in/d4tb2qVJ The Japan Foundation The Great Britain Sasakawa FoundationDaiwa Anglo Japanese Foundation
