APCC held the "Charity Relay Marathon" at Bayside Place Hakata on Monday, November 24th (rescheduled), as a charity sports event in support of APCC!
We were blessed with good weather on the day, and despite it being the first time the event was held, we were able to have 55 groups, or about 500 general runners, participate!
From children to adults, some participants were dressed in traditional costumes or yellow APCC T-shirts, and everyone ran the entire race with a big smile on their face.
We have received many positive comments from participants, such as, "The whole team worked together and it was a great memory!" and "It was fun! I want to do it again next year!"
From your participation fees and sponsorship revenue,Approximately 800,000 yen We will use the donations responsibly and carefully to help children become bridges between the world and connect their dreams to the future.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated in this tournament and to everyone who supported and sponsored us!
Please take a look at the event below.
