Presentation to Mahoroba Athletics Club
まほろばアスリートクラブへのピースプレゼンテーション
This is our first Peace Run in Yamagata. It has been canceled twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic and bad weather.
山形でのピースランは初。コロナ禍や天候不良などで2回中止になりました。
Medals were presented to the leader of the Mahoroba Athletic Club and others.

The word "Mahoroba" in the name "Mahoroba Athletic Club" means "a wonderful place" or "a comfortable place to live." It is an old Japanese word that appears in the Kojiki and Manyoshu.
The very kind gentleman living next door to our accommodation came over for an impromptu visit and gifted us a lot of the vegetables that he had grown himself. We cooked them into a delicious meal afterwards.
