Declaration to Improve Manners at the Tokyo Marathon

Coach Tetsuhiko Kin proposes toproduce the best race

in the world with the pyramid of“ rules” , “ manners” and “ awareness” .Tetsuhiko Kin

Combine the 3 elementsI believe that the quality of a marathon event is determined by three

factors, shown on the right.

“It is expected to follow rules.” “It will become a better race if

manners are followed.” “It will become the best race if awareness is

raised.”

Putting these 3 points in a pyramid, there is nothing more than to

heighten the 36,000 runners at the top of the pyramid.

In order to produce a race that lets everyone involved with

marathon enjoy it and makes everyone feel glad that they

participated, it is important for each person to think and act. Let usturn the Tokyo Marathon into a world-class race.

To create the pyramid aiming for best in the world

Raising awareness

Following rulesEssential matter that supports the frameworkof the race.Runners that violate rules will b e disqualified.

Do not run in proxy

Factor for fur ther improving
