[Event Report] New Green Leisure Run

" " holds lectures and workshops under the theme of "enriching life in Karuizawa."Hoshino Community Base" held the "Shinryoku Yuru Run" every Saturday in May.

We held three of the four scheduled events (one was cancelled due to rain). A total of 4 people attended. Some came alone, some with their spouses or families, some with friends. Some have become familiar faces, and some have attended more times than the staff.

Before running, I do some warm-up exercises. This is quite hard, and although there were many chilly days in May this year, doing 5 minutes of exercises really warms up the body.

The route we ran was the Oze forest path, beautiful with fresh greenery. On the last day, the white flowers of the three-leaf hydrangeas were adorning the roadside, and wild birds such as the Narcissus flycatcher and the Japanese wren were singing loudly. I felt that this was a run that could only be done in the forest town of Karuizawa.

The easy run involves running for 15 minutes and then returning the way you came. The good thing about the easy run is that you can participate without worrying about whether you can run XNUMXkm or what to do if you're late, since you return when the time is up. Everyone ran while chatting, walked along the way, took photos, and spent the time in their own way.

After finishing the run, we quenched our thirst with drinks at Cafe Hungry Spot and enjoyed chatting with the staff for a while.

The next event is scheduled for a Saturday in October.
