From the first marathon, over 2500 years ago, the importance of stamina and persistence has continued to this day. This year, the boys ran a shortened version of the Gakuin Marathon (5 kilometers). All grades, except the 高3 ran (the 65K boys are geting ready for university exams). It was the first experience for the 70K boys. Luckily, the weather was fine and they did their best. The fastest time was just over 18 minutes.

Unfortunately, many boys became sick the next day with influenza and the 70K boys are off until Monday to recover. We hope that they come back healthy.
