The long-distance Hachioji Long Distance Men’s 10,000 meters was held at the Kamiyugi Park Athletics Stadium in Hachioji City, Tokyo on the 27th, and Evans Katany (Toyota Textile) was the overall leader at 27: 28.25. At 27: 30.69, Tatsuhiko Ito (Honda), the representative of the Tokyo Olympics, ranked 4th overall and the top Japanese. Tomoki Ota (Toyota Motor Corp.) ranked 5th overall in 2nd place in Japan, followed by 27 minutes 33.13 in 6th place in Japan’s history. Akira Aizawa (Asahi Kasei), who is the representative of the Tokyo Olympics and holds the Japanese record (27: 18.75), slowed down in the final stages and was ranked 33rd overall in 20th place in Japan at 27: 58.35. None of the athletes broke the standard record for participation in the US / Oregon World Athletics Championships (27: 28:00) in July next year, but many athletes set their personal bests. A total of 35 people and 22 Japanese players alone marked the 27th minute. The level of the Japanese men’s long-distance world as a whole is improving, and it is expected that the world record for participation in athletics will be broken and the Japanese record will be updated in the future.
