Joel FukuzawaShizo Kanakuri, known as the father of Japanese marathon, was Japan's first Olympic marathon runner.

He improved running footwear, promoted women's sports, and established iconic races like the Hakone Ekiden. His legacy continues to inspire athletes worldwide. #OlympicMarathon #ShizoKanakuri #FatherOfJapaneseMarathon #RunningHistory #HakoneEkiden

It is an oral history project set out to document the stories of the pioneers of women’s distance running in their own voices. With the help of freelance historians, we have released 15 episodes.
