Lastly
Apparently, this event has been held 18 times since 2002. In the past, the finish line was sometimes in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, or Greenpia Miki, but since 2009 the Akashi route seems to have become the standard. Who knew that a round trip between Nishinomiya and Akashi would be as much as 100 km?
