This week with TTR: Sakura and races!
Hi friends,
This is not a drill, sakura is truly in full bloom all around Tokyo.
So don't forget to shuffle/procrastinate/dodge your work duties, grab your picnic sheet and enjoy the miracle of spring until it lasts.
And of course enjoy the racing season beginning ahead of us. While we can't possibly keep track of all your participations and achievements, we're always honored and grateful to see you fly the TTR banner all around Japan (and the world!)
Feel free to share your racing adventures and photos on our open group if you like: Japan Trail Running!
Keep following our newsletter and our Facebook page for more announcements and updates.
