2016.3.6

It was cloudy in the day time, but started raining in the evening.

There was a big event, the 34th Miura International Marathon in my city today. It is a sister race of the Honolulu Marathon. There are four courses; half marathon, 10km, 5km, and kid's beach marathon for 800 meters.  Fixed numbers are 5000, 3000, 2000, and 400 respectively. The top 6 men and women of each race will be awarded respectively.
They say one from 10km finishers and two from half marathon finishers will be invited to the Honolulu Marathon.

All the participants will get a special T shirt and a daikon (大根), Japanese radish.  Miura is very famous for Miura daikon.

When I was a junior high school teacher, I participated in the races twice with my students.
