Regional Academia Web Course “The Birth of Hakone Ekiden and Sports Biography”
This course traces the history of the ``Hakone Ekiden,'' which will be held for the 100th time in 2024, a century after the first Tokyo-Hakone Kanto University Ekiden in 1920. We will examine the historical background of the birth of Hakone Ekiden and the history of track and field sports during the Taisho period. I would like to focus the lecture on the people involved in the early days of the Hakone Ekiden and consider the significance of the 100th anniversary event from a sports historical perspective.
