Shibuya-based Aoyama Gakuin University, retained their Tokyo-Hakone Intercollegiate Ekiden title on Friday in Tokyo.

The Christian private university has thus set a new record in the competition by finishing the two-day, 10-leg road relay race that covers 217.1 kilometers in 10 hours 41 minutes 20 seconds.

Komazawa University, who won 2023 champions, set a reputable record time for the return journey but settled for second in 10:44:07.

Kokugakuin University finished third with a time of 10:50:47, failing in its bid to sweep collegiate ekiden’s three major races after winning the Izumo Ekiden last year October and the national championship in 2024 November.
