From 8:30 am on Sunday 19th February 2012, we will walk the route of the Tokyo Marathon (which takes place a week later), and we would like to invite you to join us to walk and talk as we navigate our way across the 26 miles and 385 yards (42.195 kms) of the route.
We will start at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, Shinjuku, and finish at Tokyo Big Site. We will be at certain points along the route at specific times, so you can join us at any of these locations. Walk with us for the whole duration, or just parts of it; bring your friends, children and even your bikes!
Our intention is to facilitate a dialogue between each other and between us and other walkers through the action of walking. We hope to chart the transformation of our body and our perception of ourselves, the ‘other’, time, space and the city of Tokyo.
We would love for you to join us in this adventure, please spread the word. We will be updating the event soon with details of our meeting points, times and the route, so please have a look for more information.
