Athletics(10km Road Race)

Sport Overview

Postponement has been decided for the World Masters Games 2021 Kansai.
The new dates are being arranged.
Please note that the followings are the information before the postponement was confirmed.

The 10km road race is an athletics discipline held on public roads, rather than in an athletics stadium. Unlike track and field, competitors run through the city, so they can enjoy the scenery and see people cheering for them along the course.
