Running is more than just a physical activity; it’s a journey toward better health, mental clarity, and personal achievement. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a beginner, the goal of running—or even walking—is not just about reaching the finish line. It’s about the progress you make along the way, the resilience you build, and the joy of movement itself.

On the morning of Saturday, October 5, 2024, five of our colleagues, along with many others, embraced the challenge at the Arakawa Half Marathon, organized by Amino Vital at Horikiri Waterfront Park. Despite the rainy weather, they ran distances of 5km and 10km, crossing the finish line with remarkable times while sharing laughter and camaraderie.

This event was not just about running; it was about self-improvement, cultivating perseverance, and fostering a passion for fitness. Additionally, the benefits of running help strengthen the heart and muscles, contributing to overall physical fitness. Moreover, it also reduces stress and enhances focus, promoting a positive mindset. This experience exemplified our commitment to health, teamwork, and a sustainable lifestyle.

Thank you to all the participants for achieving their goals and impressive times. By participating in activities like this, we align with our company’s mission of promoting a healthier lifestyle for all, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being.
