Declaration to Improve Manners at the Tokyo Marathon
Coach Tetsuhiko Kin proposes toproduce the best race
in the world with the pyramid of“ rules” , “ manners” and “ awareness” .Tetsuhiko Kin
Combine the 3 elementsI believe that the quality of a marathon event is determined by three
factors, shown on the right.
“It is expected to follow rules.” “It will become a better race if
manners are followed.” “It will become the best race if awareness is
raised.”
Putting these 3 points in a pyramid, there is nothing more than to
heighten the 36,000 runners at the top of the pyramid.
In order to produce a race that lets everyone involved with
marathon enjoy it and makes everyone feel glad that they
participated, it is important for each person to think and act. Let usturn the Tokyo Marathon into a world-class race.
To create the pyramid aiming for best in the world
Raising awareness
