Sapporo Half Marathon and Season-Opening High School Ekidens Canceled Due to Approach of Typhoon #25
Due to the approach of Typhoon #25, we have made the difficult and unfortunate decision to cancel the 43rd running of the Sapporo Half Marathon, scheduled for Oct. 7, 2018, out of concern for the safety of participants, volunteers and spectators in the expected strong winds and rain.
We further regret that because of the expenditures already made in preparation for staging the race we are unable to refund participants' entry fees and ask for their understanding. We will be sending out the participation goods entrants would have received and ask for your patience as we make the necessary arrangements.
We on the organizing committee sincerely apologize for this crushingly disappointing outcome and ask again for your understanding.
Note: Sunday's season-opening national-level high school ekidens Nihonkai Ekiden and Kuroyoshi Joshi Ekiden were likewise canceled due to Typhoon #25.
