26th Walkathon declared a success

The 2017 Chubu Walkathon was a successful event and we are extremely grateful to all who helped on Sunday, May 22.


Special thanks to all of our corporate sponsors, prize donors, volunteers, food vendors, band performers, OSU Girls, visiting guests, charities, students, parents, Morikoro Park, and of course, to all who purchased tickets!


We couldn't have done it without ALL of you!
