- Running transcends borders! The Happy Morning Run was widely acclaimed last year and this year, we will also organize it once again. This is a fun run event, passing through Osaka Castle Park with international runners, families and friends in the previous morning of race day.
This year, we will increase the scale of the event and enliven it further by boosting the number of runners. We will also introduce original number cards featuring the relevant country by name to help us welcome global runners as a boosted cosmopolitan event.
