Adidas launched "adidas Runners of Tokyo" in Japan in September 2016. Over the course of about one year since its launch, we have collected over 2,000 members and have offered a wide range of content to various types of runners, from beginner running to sub 3 runners.

In March of this year, we held the unprecedented full marathon "GREEN LIGHT RUN TOKYO" that runs through the city of Tokyo for 42.195 km in nonstop. It is a city marathon that overturns the conventional common sense that it is not captured by countless traffic lights but only by green light.

Other than that, we have planned a number of new sensation running events such as three personality running battle "RUNNING 3 on 3" where running, strategy and knowledge are tried, and convey the pleasure of running from various angles.

Agility, balance, team power etc. "heart, skill, body" is the content to be tested, not only the speed of running, but also the teamwork and comprehensive power of all five people becomes necessary.

For special guests comedy Oriental Radio Shingo Fujimori (right) appears. In the interview before the performance, he talked about enthusiasm for events participating in a 12 km course and feelings for running.

- Today I will be presenting as a group of five people, but whom will you participate?

Fujimori: I will challenge with the former runner's pretty dream team! Some people are out on Hakone Ekiden and some are currently coached.

I think I'm expecting Adidas to bring entertainers, so I'm sorry (laugh).

- Are you seriously going to aim for the victory?

Fujimori:Yes. On the contrary I'm worried that I will not pull my leg .... Everyone is really fast (laugh).

- There are five kinds of activities prepared on the way this time, but are there enthusiasm for it?

Thumb efbc95

Fujimori: What is it ... I do not know the details at all, but it is pleasing to have such an event. A bit of a stoic feeling Plus, there are elements like entertainment that you can enjoy. My older sister in Red Bull is also cute!

It's full-scale (laugh).

Fujimori: Drink a cup of Red Bull! (Lol)

- I think Fujimori is also participating in the marathon tournament, but how often do you get out?

FujimoriIt has been around twice a month since the beginning of the autumn season. I hope to run at such a pace until March and April.

- It appears quite often. How far is it with one exercise?

Fujimori: 15 km on a day with work and 20 - 30 km on a day off work. Basically I try to run every day.

- While work is busy, where do you get motivation to keep running?

Thumb efbc96

Fujimori: Even if you are tired after your work has come late at work, you can refresh by running. That is switching of switches in me.

Then, after running and get tired, go into the sauna. This is the time of bliss for me.

- It is very healthy (laugh).

Fujimori:I agree. Because I can not drink alcohol unexpectedly while saying Chara man (laugh). Because I never go drinking with someone in the night, I am committed to running.

- I think it was the first time I finished the full marathon last year, did there change the feelings about running from inside there in Fujimori?

Fujimori: The challenge to the full marathon started from the age of 33, but the sense of accomplishment when I finished was the highest comfortable! I got addicted to running after I tasted it.

To be honest, I thought that finishing would be difficult at the time of practice. Even so, I fulfilled Sub 4 and I felt a pleasant feeling different from my usual work, so I began running.

- In the first challenge, Sub 4 is amazing! You were motivated by women around you? (Lol)

Thumb efbc97

Fujimori: Thanks to you, the likability has risen slightly again (laugh). "It's not just being chararous." I thought it was shame (laugh).

- A lot of female runners are participating today, how about such a healthy woman?

Fujimori: I think that it is very attractive. I can not do anything like Nanpa while I'm running in truly, but I can not do anything like that (lol), but I'm checking all the wears that are wearing "What kind of fashion are you running in?"

Women's running wear is rich in variety and cute! So I think women 's runners should increase a lot.

Would you like to go running together eventually?

FujimoriIn that regard, I would like to make a "challenging team"! Now there are Gokon and Town-kun, there are different formats of intercoms in different formats. Compared to it, runners' gangs where men and women meet while running. I think it is clean, healthy and wonderful.

It's okay to use mind on your body as well!

Fujimori: If it's a healthy food, I will teach you a delicious chopped salad! (Lol)

Finally, please tell us your enthusiasm for today.

Fujimori: I would like to run with the finish as usual, aiming for a good time. Besides running today, there are also entertainment parts, so I think that the enjoyment of running should be conveyed to people who are not keen on running.

In recent years, the number of celebrities and celebrities who are hooked on running has increased, but Fujimori is one of them. By actively seeking participation in each competition by knowing pleasure and pleasure about running through a marathon. We continue to convey the wonderfulness of running by participating in such tournaments and on the front stage like this event.

I challenged 8 km course. Start from a soft ground in the Meiji Jingu Gaien Gymnasium and General Stadium, go past the National Art Center, go through Roppongi Hills, aim at the Tokyo Tower underground parking lot at the turnaround where two activities await.

After returning, after going through Ark · Karajan Square located in the center of Ark Hills which challenges the remaining three activities, going back to the soft ground of the Meiji Jingu Gaien that started the start will be the goal.

By arriving at each relay point of the running course, the whole of the five types of secret challenge that was enveloped by mysterious veil was clarified from before the convention.

①Synchro Run(シンクロラン)


5人6脚でタイムを争うアクティビティ。
When defeating a cone on the way or exceeding the limit time of 60 seconds, it will be disqualified at that time.

②One Dribble(ワンドリブル)


5m×8mのコースをゴムベルト足をで結ばれた5名が、その輪の中でドリブルしながらコーンをターンして戻ってくるタイムレース。「Synchro Run」同様、途中のコーンを倒したり、制限時間の60秒を越えると、その時点で失格となる。

③ Jump Rope (jump rope)


5人で行う大縄跳び。
1人あたり4kgのウエイトを足に着用し、2人が綱を回し、残りの3人がジャンプする。チャンスは制限時間の60秒以内で2回のみ。

④ Brain Pump (Brain Pump)


5名が横並びにブランクの状態を保ち、制限時間の60秒以内に何問のクイズに答えられるかを競うアクティビティ。
It is OK even if you answer within the team and draw out the answer. When the posture of the blank collapses, when the abdominal muscle arrives at the floor, it becomes disqualified at that time.

⑤Touch Out (Touch Out)


30秒間、スタッフの中から選出された俊敏性に優れた1名の鬼から5名が逃げ続けるというアクティビティ。

By teaming up to 5 activities with the theme "heart, skill, body, knowledge and harmony", all teams head toward one goal, clearing the game and achieving a sense of accomplishment and running alone can not taste I was able to feel pleasure.

After the running finish, carried out by a runner gathered a fitness program "GYM & RUN" by Mr. Shuichi Nakano of Physical Trainer (second person from the right).

This training that you can train your lower body firmly even if you can not run. It takes about 30 minutes to load the same load as when you completed the half marathon.

After the fitness program, Fujimori looked back on this "TOKYO RUN + 5 CHALLENGE" and told his impressions on stage without breathing still.

- How was it when you participated in this event this time?

Fujimori: It was my first time to have such a running festa, so it was a lot of fun. I was also high touching "yay!" With the runner who passed each other. Well, it's for women only (laugh).

- Sounds good ~! Try it, what was your impressive activity?

Fujimori: I am holding a grudge against jump rope. While we are running 12 km, when the fatigue has accumulated a lot, that 4 kg weight .... That was pretty tiring from the beginning (laugh). But it was really fun!

By the way, will you participate if there is the same event next year?

Fujimori: Next year I will do anything at half marathon or full marathon! So let 's do it next year too!

Fujimori felt the new pleasure of running, which does not taste just by running 12 km normally.

so. That's why 'adidas Runners of Tokyo' continues to provide running content that combines sports and culture.
From running beginners to serious sub 3 runners. I hope all runners, including those not good at running, feel "fun" from the bottom of my heart through running.

In order to keep producing smiles of such runners, I would like to continue to pay attention to the "next generation running" that "adidas Runners of Tokyo" will discover newly.
