Tokyo Running Events, Sep 14 - 20
Your weekly list of running events across Tokyo this week.
I didn’t feel like running today. Which is exactly why I went.
Tokyo Run Clubs
Good morning, Tokyo runners. A five-day holiday stretch starts this Saturday, with Respect for the Aged Day next Monday and two more days off after that.
Today’s high is around 31°C, but the rest of the week looks cooler, with highs of 23-26°C and lows of 18-23°C. Rain and thunderstorms are forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, and the weekend looks cloudy with rain possible both days. Check the forecast before heading out, and leave room to shuffle your run plans.
