We are proud to announce the release of Kyoto Marathon 2017 official merchandise, which has been made possible through a special partnership with two of Kyoto’s most prestigious brands, Kyukyodo and SOU・SOU.
An ashibumi-sen mini letter set and incense in three scents have been developed in collaboration with Kyoto’s Kyukyodo, a time-honored incense and washi Japanese paper specialty store. The ashibumi-sen set features a cute footprint design exclusive to the Kyoto Marathon’s original merchandise. Featuring cherry blossom, rosemary, and jasmine fragrances, each piece of incense is imprinted with the Kyoto Marathon logotype and is perfect for relaxation before and after the race, as a gift to runners to pray for a successful finish or a souvenir to celebrate completion of the full distance.
Every year, our original T-shirts are in high demand among many of the runners. This year, we have initiated a collaborative project with SOU・SOU, an up-and-coming brand of original textiles based on the concept of “creating a new Japanese culture.” Available in two Kyoto-themed designs, the T-shirts use hygroscopic, quick-drying materials that are ideal for runners.
The ashibumi-sen set and T-shirts will be on sale starting February (5) at the Kyoto Kyukyodo Main Store and February (8) at SOU・SOU’s (SOU・SOU le coq sportif -SOU·SOUnetshop), respectively. Incense will be available only from the Kyoto Marathon Official Shop at the event venue.
Official merchandise will also be available for purchase from the Kyoto Marathon Official Shop in the Okoshiyasu Welcome Square on Friday, February 17 and Saturday, February 18, and at the Otsukaresama Congratulations Square on Sunday, February 19.
Be sure to get your merchandise as a well-earned memento of the race or souvenir for your family and friends! (Supplies are limited. Please understand that items may sell out quickly.)
