Yatayama Hill Cross-country Run    (Feb. 10, 2016)

On February 10, 2016, all the students at the JHS and SHS ran through the hills of Yatayama. It was the 28th running of this annual event at our school that started back in 1964.

The course is about 12 km long. It is fairly rough running along the narrow, winding and slippery paths in the hills and forests behind the school.

At 9:30 in the morning, the first class started out from our school grounds for Matsuodera Temple. One minute later, the next class started out, and then in the same
interval each class went out.
They have to run up the steep road for about 1 km to get to the temple, and then run along the narrow paths in the mountainous area.

The fastest students make it back to the school grounds in just under 1 hour.
This athletic run is surely a lasting and memorable event for all students.
