“Running helps someone”

The Osaka Marathon aims to help people develop a deeper understanding of charitable activities and encourage many of those participating in the race, including runners,
supporters on the sidelines and volunteers to participate in such charity programs.

We hope to pump up the charity programs of the Osaka Marathon together with people by various forms of participation in the race, i.e. runners, supporters and cheerers,
so all can enjoy this charity event.
