Notice of the Kakogawa Matsukaze Road Race 20k/10k Event to be held on Sunday, October 18, 2026: Matsukaze Series Event

Due to bridge construction on the Kakogawa riverbed, the 2026 Kakogawa Matsukaze Series will be held with a changed course and name on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Entry registration opens on Saturday, June 6, and closes on Monday, September 28.

Our guest will be Yurika Nakamura!

The event will feature 20km, 10km, and family (2km) races. Age-group categories have also been set, so we hope you will compete and enjoy the race within your respective age groups.

Furthermore, this time we are collaborating with Kako Reverse💡 and holding the events on the same day📝. We have been aware that Kako Reverse holds their event around the same time, and we have been holding meetings with the idea that joining forces would allow for smoother operations and potential synergy.

You can run in the Matsukaze race or come to cheer, and then enjoy Kako Reverse on your way home. We also hope that participants of Kako Reverse will learn about Matsukaze.

We hope to provide various information and initiatives sequentially, so please stay tuned.

This event is also the 13th race of the Matsukaze series. Why not join us?
