Two-time reigning overall champion Aoyama Gakuin University won the outbound route of the annual two-day Tokyo-Hakone collegiate ekiden road relay on Friday, setting a record time to take an 18-second lead over second-placed Waseda University.
The final day of the 102nd Tokyo-Hakone Round-Trip College Ekiden was held on the 3rd, with 21 teams participating, including 20 schools in the Kanto region and the Kanto Student Union, which participated as an open team, in the 5-section 109.6 km return leg.
