Fukushima Ekiden (relay road
race) was held as usual, though the course of the race includes highly
radioactive contaminated area. Watari area is one of the highly contaminated
area in the course. Runners passed through in front of the Watari branch of
Fukushima city office where
decontamination work has been doing. The Watari branch is located 1 km
before the goal.

A few faster teams ran quite fast. The top team finished the race before
a large following group came to in front of the Watari branch. The sounds
of firecrackers informed the top team just finished the race.

Runners from the evacuation area of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants
were cheered specially. This is a feature of the soundscape of this year's race.

It was impressive that a policeman who directed traffic wore a high
efficiency mask.

The sound in this page was cut the period when no runner was running and
