Activity Report: Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon 2026 Charity
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon 2026 Charity was held. This event gives runners the opportunity to support a cause they care about by raising funds while taking on the race. Once again, ACE participated as an official charity organization, running alongside 46 dedicated Charity Runners who joined us from Japan and around the world.
Warm Cheers Along the Course: "ACE Cheering Team"
Near Suidobashi Station, our staff and volunteer cheering team gathered, dressed in ACE green! The team exchanged enthusiastic high-fives not only with ACE Charity Runners, but also with many other runners along the course—so much so that our volunteers' hands were left sore from all the high-fives!
Seeing the runners recharge their energy through these high-fives and head toward the finish line with big smiles filled our cheering team's hearts with warmth.
Smiles & Celebrations at MUFG STADIUM (Japan National Stadium)
After crossing the finish line, runners visited the ACE Charity Booth inside MUFG STADIUM (Japan National Stadium).
Blessed with beautiful, pleasant autumn weather this year, many runners happily shared positive moments with us, saying, "I set a personal best!" and "It was such a wonderful race!"
Hearing their inspiring stories and warm words like, "I ran to support ACE's mission!" and "I'll definitely run again next year!" gave our team immense energy and encouragement.
Connecting Beyond the Race: After-Party with MATSU RUN
After the race, we co-hosted an After-Party with "MATSU RUN," a running team led by ACE Ambassador Mr. Matsugaki! Runners and volunteers gathered to celebrate crossing the finish line, sharing race stories and discussing ACE’s mission in a warm, welcoming atmosphere filled with smiles. A heartfelt thank you to MATSU RUN for helping make the event so special!
Thank You for Your Support & Connecting to the Future
Thank you for all your support! Through this Charity Marathon, we raised a total of 2,473,655 yen in warm donations. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported us!
