The final program featured a special commemorative talk show, featuring four coaches from our university, Josai University, Toyo University, and Rikkyo University, who looked back on the fierce Hakone Ekiden, where their respective universities competed fiercely. The event was packed with exciting content, including each coach's planned race and actual results, coaching the athletes, future team prospects, and notable athletes for the 2025 season.
