AIMS Now Carrying JRN Content





AIMS, the Association of International Marathons and Road Races, is now carrying JRN content in the news section of its site. One of AIMS' objectives is to exchange information, knowledge and expertise among the more than 400 road races worldwide that make up its membership, and we're pleased to contribute to that by continuing to try to provide a window into some of what's happening behind the wall surrounding Japan and its running world.

On the Loss of the ARRS Database

At some point in the last few months I discovered that both versions of the ARRS database, the static one and the searchable version , are gone.

U20 WR and Asian AR holder Ziyi Yan opened with a big 68.05, 0.67 m further than Kitaguchi's best-ever from back in 2023.

Back home at the National Corporate Track and Field Championships in Kyoto, women's pole vault NR holder Misaki Morota continued a solid comeback season of her own, bettering her NR from May by 1 cm with a 4.51 m on her first attempt.
