A 135-mile relay race is the country's biggest annual sporting event
Thousands of professional runners compete for corporate teams in some of the most competitive races in the world.
Marathon monks run a thousand marathons in a thousand days to reach spiritual enlightenment.
Adharanand Finn - award-winning author of RUNNING WITH THE KENYANS - spent six months immersed in this unique running culture to discover what it might teach us about the sport and about Japan.
