It looks like the “Koshienhama Marathon” will be held next year on Sunday, February 11.
(This information was provided by Iroha, a Nishitsu supporter. Thank you!)
It seems to be a seaside panoramic course where you can run while enjoying views of Koshienhama. Sounds refreshing〜😄
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 20-1 Edagawa-cho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Finally
While looking up this event online, I found a comment from someone who took part a few years ago, and apparently that year, tonjiru pork miso soup was served after the finish(not sure if they’ll do it again this year).They said it was an event full of warmth from the local residents〜🤗
