This year, the team took part in several distances at once: 🏃♀️ 10 km 🏃 Nordic walking 🏃♀️ Half marathon – 21 km 97.5 m 🔥 and, of course, the Ekiden relay

Everyone toed the starting line with their own goal, but they all have one thing in common – moving forward, team spirit and a desire to get better.
