Station residents and Japanese participants begin a half marathon during the 49th Kintai Marathon on Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, April 17, 2016.With more than 500 athletes, the marathon is one of the few events that invites Japanese citizens on the air station and provides a great opportunity for MCAS Iwakuni personnel to show support of their host nation through running, said Mai Tajima, SemperFit recreation specialist. The half marathon first place for the men was Nobuhisa Tanigawa, 35, completing at 1 hour, 13 minutes, 37 seconds, and for the women was Yukiko Kobayakawa, 43, completing at 1:32:26.
