On March 1st, 2019, the Mazda Ekiden Road Relay was held as part of the 26th Love Hofu Campaign at the Mazda Motor Corporation Hofu Plant (in the Nishinoura district).
Unfortunately, the weather was not nice, but a total of 53 teams from Yamaguchi prefecture and beyond took part in this event.
It was 6th time for our Hofu factory team to join it. Although it was rain and cold, they completed the relay and made 40th-place finish.
We ran with new uniform with our company logo and policy “Change Again!” We believe our teamwork becomes more intense through the event.
