Special Running Event In Japan!
Wait...
It is not a normal running event that you have participated.
You need something special and more...
Hey, how can be a running event so special?
Today, we have a more interesting running event for you!
You don't need your sportswear this time.
Instead, you need a ...........COSTUME!
Sure! I have a few Halloween costumes in my closet.
Which cute ones do you want?
Cat woman?
Or a cute little devil?
Sorry! For this special running event, you need this COSTUME!

Who is Wally?
Wally is the main character of a series of children's books "Where's Wally" which is written and created by English illustrator Martin Handford. In the books, you can find different pictures with thousands of people and items, and what you need to do is find Wally who is hiding in these pictures!!
Wally in Japan
Actually Wally is a famous character in Japan too. On Halloween day, you can see a lot of people dress up like Wally and walk on the streets!
