【横浜】THE CHALLENGE RACE YOKOHAMA 9｜横浜のマラソン大会

THE CHALLENGE RACE YOKOHAMA is a Japan Association of Athletics Federations-certified road race held on the Tsurumi River riverside course in Yokohama. The event is organized around the idea of supporting runners who want to challenge their personal records, with a fast, mostly flat riverside route, pace groups for a range of target times, and aid stations stocked with drinks and energy gel. The reception and start/finish area are around Shin-Yokohama Station Front Park, with access guidance from Shin-Yokohama Station, making it a practical venue for runners arriving by public transportation. The race is connected with RDC RUN CLUB and race director Yuki Yagi, whose background includes elite competition and coaching. Its message emphasizes creating races where all runners can take part casually while still having the structure needed for serious performance attempts. The event also notes partnerships and eligibility links with running ranking and league programs, positioning it as both an accessible community race and a record-focused certified event for runners seeking a well-supported road racing environment.
