Inaugural event
Monterey Ekiden
at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca
Teams of four. One tasuki. Run at twilight.
The Monterey Ekiden is a twilight team relay, on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
What is Ekiden?
An ekiden is a long-distance relay that has been part of Japanese culture since 1917. Instead of a baton, each runner wears a cloth sash called a tasuki and hands it to the next teammate at the exchange. The sash carries the team's effort from one leg to the next. The format was built around collective effort over individual glory.
The relay
Four runners, one team, one 2.2 mile lap each, 8.8 miles in all. At every exchange you hand off the tasuki, and the next leg carries it on.
Why we run
Monterey and Nanao, Japan, have been sister cities for thirty years. This race supports a new cross-country exchange built on that bond. Students from Nanao visit Monterey in August, and the Monterey High team travels to Nanao in October. They train together, stay in each other's towns, and build friendships that cross language barriers and oceans. We are funding this project so a student's financial situation is never the barrier. A place is earned through merit and commitment, not through what a family can afford. In a region with deep Japanese roots, an ekiden is a fitting way to honor that history and open the door for the next group of students.
Proceeds benefit the Wasshoi Foundation and the Monterey High School Cross Country Exchange Boosters.
