Civil servant runner Yuki Kawauchi (Saitama Pref.) ran the Jan. 20 Saitama Ekiden on the Saitama Prefecture Government team, finishing 2nd on the 11.9 km Third Stage in 36:54. On Jan. 18 Kawauchi ran the Egyptian Marathon, winning in a course record time. He spent only two nights in Egypt. "It was kind of a rushed trip," he said. "I didn't get enough sleep so I was a little tired, but I was in good shape for the run." He was satisfied with his ekiden performance, saying, "Even in the middle of marathon training I haven't lost my ekiden speed. I wasn't fatigued at all."

The Tanigawa Marathon was held on 13th January, and the Egypt Marathon on 18th January. If you think of time difference, probably he ran less than 5 days apart.
