Promoting the Nagoya City Marathon

On 22 September, over 34,000 runners from 57 countries joined in the 2013 Sydney Running Festival, including the Sydney Marathon. From 18-21 September, the Sydney Town Hall hosted the Festival’s Event Expo, where competitors picked up their running bibs and visited exhibition stands, among which was the Nagoya City Marathon, sister marathon to Sydney’s event since last year’s partnership agreement signing. Nagoya City sent two people together with the Executive Committee of the Marathon Festival Nagoya Aichi, one from Nagoya City and one from the Chunichi Newspaper Company, to promote next year’s Nagoya City Marathon, to be held on 9 March 2014.

The thousand flyers the team printed to promote the Nagoya City Marathon quickly ran out, making them rush for reprints. One member of the Executive Committee took the challenge of the Full Marathon, while two entrants from Nagoya City invited by the Sydney Marathon Committee entered the 9km Bridge Run and Full Marathon respectively. As well, four Assistant Directors from CLAIR Sydney ran in the Bridge Run and Full Marathon, and as runners, gave a boost to the grass-roots exchange between Sydney and Nagoya.
