2026 Role: Prize Tanto and English Emcee

Bryce Conlan is a long-time, ardent supporter of the Chubu Walkathon!

He's been involved since...well, we've run out of fingers and toes... so we'll never know.

Bryce served as Walkathon Committee Panning Chair for a long stretch, spanning some milestone years including the big move to Moricoro Park back in 2011.

You'll always be able to find Bryce because he's usually on stage as one of the event's emcees. But one role just isn't enough for Bryce, so he usually does double duty as Prize Tanto as well.

A True Leader in the Community

Bryce is a fair dinkum emcee, but we've told him not to quit his day job.

You see, when he's not rolling up his sleeves for the Chubu Walkathon, Bryce leads his team as President of H&R Consultants K.K., a company also deeply rooted in the Walkathon with connections to the event's founding and a perennial high-tier Walkathon Sponsor!

But it doesn't stop there!

Bryce even helps to organize one of the kids' ativities - the ever-popular Super Ball Scoop!

You'll also find Bryce's family chipping in and lending a hand at the event as well, taking advantage of the awesome family-friendly event that it is.

The Walkathon thanks Bryce for his undying support!

We couldn't do it without you!

The Walkathon Committee members gather once or twice a month to put together this big event to be held on May 24th, 2026. We are always looking for more volunteers to help out with the planning and smooth flow on the day.
