About Me
Brett Larner
Born in Canada, grew up in the USA, and have lived in Japan since 1997. Ran XC at Wesleyan Univ. and Mayo HS.
Currently living next to Oda Field, Tokyo`s main public track, in Shibuya where I work as a musician and coach for Adidas and the Harriers running team.
I receive many requests for help with entering races in Japan. Please bear in mind before contacting me that most races close entry at least a month beforehand, often longer.
