Tokyo Marathon

Today we visited Asakusa to cheer for the Tokyo Marathon runners. It was a great event to watch, with besides all the runners, lots of entertainment. It was of course very crowded in Asakusa, as many people headed to the course, and were all enthusiastic cheering for the runners. Both the crowd and the runners were entertained by various performances (dances, songs, etc.) and mascots.


 




For many (really, really many) runners just completing the 42,195 km was not enough of a challenge and they decided the make it more challenging and complete the course dressed up wearing strange hats, or even whole outfits! This was very funny to watch, and they gained lots of attention from the spectators. Please enjoy their creativity:


(Wait until the end :)
