Nihon Kanzai's Role in Kobe Marathon 2025

Nihon Kanzai Holdings, with its headquarters located in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, announced that its group company, Nihon Kanzai Co., Ltd., would manage security tasks at the upcoming Kobe Marathon 2025. Scheduled for November 16, 2025, this prominent event will be crucial in ensuring the safety and smooth conduct of the marathon. Through meticulous planning and coordination, Nihon Kanzai aims to bolster the overall experience for participants and attendees alike.

About the Kobe Marathon 2025

First held in 2011, the Kobe Marathon promotes the spirit of gratitude and friendship. It is a community-driven event that goes beyond just being a race; it’s about running for the benefit of others. As the marathon celebrates its 13th edition, it coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, making this event particularly significant. Notably, there will be substantial changes to the marathon course, which will enhance its accessibility and potentially improve runner's performance.

Previously, participants faced a steep incline near the 38 km mark at the Kobe Ohashi Bridge. The new route extends the turnaround point into Akashi City and has the finish line relocated to Kobe Harborland, creating a flatter course conducive to record-breaking times. Moreover, the Kobe Marathon will now align with the Marathon Grand Championship (MGC) Series for the years 2025-26, organized by the Japan Association of Athletics Federations, further elevating its status in the marathon circuit.

Ensuring Safety with Nihon Kanzai

Nihon Kanzai's meticulous approach to managing security services includes developing safety plans, adjusting security personnel deployments, and conducting emergency response training. The special security task force collaborates closely with the Kobe Marathon executive office and other relevant agencies, meeting frequently to ensure all aspects of the event are accounted for.

A spokesperson from the task force indicated, "By holding weekly meetings and conducting on-site assessments, we aim to create a secure, safe, and smooth-running event while adapting our plans to the new course layout." Their commitment to providing secure operations is paramount, and they plan to extend these safety measures to various other events in the future.
