Photos by Toshiki Sato 

Happening every New Year, the Hakone Ekiden is a University Ekiden, or relay race that happens between Tokyo and Hakone. Our man Toshki was on the ground to capture some of the action even though "the crowd was so controlled that I couldn't get close to anything." Well, it turns out he can capture some amazing photos even without being right up in the action. Last time we had some of Toshiki's photos was when he was here for the PDX Trophy Cup.
