And encouraged me. In addition, this year, Fujitsuka Taiko performed the drums and excited the venue. I heard from the players that they were very encouraged.
　A major feature of the Karugamo Family Marathon, which is a major feature of the family marathon, was attended by 183 groups. This year, I was able to see the smile goal while holding hands with parents and children, and the smiley figure waiting for my father and mother because only the child arrived at the goal first.
