Sponsorship of Minato City Half Marathon 2018

Aiming to make contributions to local communities through sports, NOK cosponsored the Minato City Half Marathon, the first marathon race held in Minato City, Tokyo. The race started in front of Shiba Park, extended past Shimbashi Station and Shinagawa Station and finished at Tokyo Tower. A total of 4,698 runners took part in the event. Since the race was run through Shiba Daimon, where NOK’s Head Office is located (it is now temporarily relocated for reconstruction), employees of NOK lined up along the course to cheer the runners on.
