Steeped in cultural heritage and sporting spirit, UK Ekiden brings the long-standing Japanese tradition of relay racing to the heart of the United Kingdom. This unique event is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of unity, resilience, and shared goals.
We are launching the UK Ekiden in 2024, inspired by the world famous Hakone Ekiden which celebrated its 100th event in January 2024.
The race will start at Voco Spires Hotel, Oxford, and finish at Brocas Field, Windsor, following a beautiful 72-mile route along the Thames Path on Monday, 24th June 2024.
21 teams from universities, companies, and the wider community involved with Japan and the UK will take part.
Please come and watch the race, or join our volunteer team and be part of this spectacular event! All route and other information is available on the website.
