Unleash Your Inner Runner: Join Naoko Takahashi at the Coco Road Race 2026 in Guam

As running enthusiasts gear up for an exhilarating race season, an extraordinary opportunity arises with the announcement from HIS Co., Ltd. headquartered in Minato, Tokyo. They are set to launch an exclusive tour for the highly anticipated Coco Road Race 2026, which will feature a special running clinic and party hosted by the legendary Naoko Takahashi. Beginning February 4, this tour promises unique experiences for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike.

The Coco Road Race, initiated by the Guam Visitors Bureau in 2006, has grown immensely popular, showcasing its scenic views and cultural vibes. This year, the race events are scheduled for April 12, held primarily at the beautiful Ipao Beach Park in the Tumon area. Participants can choose between a half-marathon or opt for a team relay event consisting of four members running a total of 5 kilometers.

HIS aims to enhance the experience of the Coco Road Race by welcoming Naoko Takahashi, an accomplished athlete with notable victories in international competitions and a prominent sports commentator in Japan. As part of the tour, attendees will participate in a running clinic focused on preparation techniques, including running drills and stretching routines designed to optimize performance for the following day's race.

An exciting welcome party kicks off the festivities, followed by an after-party once the race concludes. The tour will utilize the elegant setting of Hilton Guam Resort & Spa’s “The Gallery,” allowing participants to savor a buffet meal while receiving invaluable race strategies and encouragement from Takahashi herself. Another delightful perk for event ticket holders is a limited-edition T-shirt featuring a unique Naoko Takahashi signature and illustration, making for a perfect souvenir.

In addition, participants will have the option for a race entry service for both the half-marathon and relay segments, ensuring that everyone can join in on the fun.
