Friendship through the Nagoya City Marathon and Sydney Running Festival

Posted on by admin

On September 16, two representative runners from the Nagoya City Marathon participated in the Sydney Running Festival. The Nagoya City Marathon and the Sydney Running Festival are sister marathon events. Every year, representative runners from Sydney and Nagoya travel to their sister city to compete in the other city’s marathon, as well as to join the expo event held the day before the marathon to promote their home city and its marathon event.

On September 17, the representative runners visited Sydney Town Hall. Councillor Robert Kok welcomed the runners very warmly and together, they talked about Nagoya and Sydney, and shared their thoughts on the marathon held the day before.

CLAIR Sydney provided support for the representative runners during their time in Sydney by setting up appointments on the runners’ behalf, assisting with the promotion of Nagoya and the Nagoya City Marathon at the expo, and accompanying the runners on their courtesy visit to Sydney Town Hall.

We look forward to seeing the friendship between the two sister cities continue to expand and thrive through sport exchanges, and we would like to continue to support the international activities of Japanese local governments in their pursuit of internationalisation.
