If you live in Tokyo and went out to cities on the 2nd or 3rd, you might have seen some runners.
Every year, we have Hakone Ekiden on the 2nd and 3rd of Jan.
I love to watch it very much since I was little child.

Hakone-Ekiden is the most exciting event during new year's holidays.
This marathon relay race compete with 20 universities ekiden-teams going from Tokyo
to Lake Ashino(in Hakone) and back.

Sometimes I go and cheer on the sidelines.
When I was a child, all runners looked pretty mature, but now, all of them are younger than me.
I feel strange... but still like it.
