23rd Annual Kyoto Wheelchair Race

Kyoto Wheelchair ekiden全国車いす駅伝競争大会京都

This Sunday Kyoto will host the 23rd annual Wheelchair Ekiden Race.

The race is a relay race made up of 25 teams, most of which represent a prefecture (e.g., Kyoto, Osaka, Shiga, etc.) or a city.

After a short opening ceremony the evening before at the Grand Prince Hotel, in Iwakura, the race begins at 11:30 on February 19 at the Kyoto International Conference Center.

The race winds its way through the city, ending at Nishi Kyogoku Stadium.

The route is in five stages - five racers - and is 21.3 km long.

The speed is tremendous, and the excitement palpable.
