What to know: The Ekiden running event is a long-distance relay race. Each team has its own tasuki, a sash that is passed from one runner to the next until the finish line. The tradition of Ekiden races began in 1917, inspired by the couriers of the 1603–1868 period, who ran to deliver messages between Tokyo and Kyoto.
