Visit to Sydney for the Sydney Running Festival and Promoting the Nagoya City Marathon

The male and female winners of the 2014 Nagoya City Marathon visited Sydney, running in the Sydney Running Festival on 21 September. The Sydney Running Festival and Nagoya City Marathon signed a sister marathon affiliation in August 2012, as one of many projects to bring the two sister cities closer together. Joining the runners was an official from the Marathon Festival Nagoya-Aichi Organising Committee, to coordinate PR activities for the Nagoya City Marathon on 8 March 2015.
