【猛暑対策】ピーエスエス皇居健康ランニング令和8年10月3日大会 2026

This PSS Imperial Palace Health Running event is a small Tokyo race and practice session held at the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward. The start and finish are located near the Clock Tower inside Sakuradamon Gate, offering 5 km, 10 km, 20 km, and 20 km relay race options. Beginners are welcome, experienced runners can use it for training, and the typical field size is modest, ranging from 100 to 499 participants. The 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km races cost 1,000 yen each, while the 20 km relay is priced at 4,000 yen. The race route utilizes the Imperial Palace loop, allowing runners to consider it a measured workout as well as a competition. PSS Inc. characterizes the event as “Japan’s most relaxed race”: late arrivals are permitted, same-day registration is possible, runners may switch categories on the day, and finishing early still results in the distance being recorded rather than a disqualification. Feedback highlights its practical aspects, particularly for assessing current fitness, practicing lap pacing, and completing long runs before a marathon. Timing is conducted manually with a stopwatch and printer, participation gifts are distributed, and the event will be canceled in case of rain or snow, with a transfer offered instead of a refund.
