In collaboration with LEOMO, we will support your training for the Mie Matsusaka Marathon.

JPF Co., Ltd. is a Platinum Partner of the Mie Matsusaka Marathon 2026 and is sponsoring the event.

Beyond simply sponsoring the event, JPF collaborated with LEOMO Inc. to hold a running form measurement event at the Matsusaka Cycle Training Center on Sunday, June 21, 2026, with the aim of building momentum for the Mie Matsusaka Marathon and contributing to the promotion of regional sports.

JPF is entrusted with management of Koei Kyogi venue of Matsusaka Keirin-jyo, and in addition to holding Keirin, it is working to utilize Keirin-jyo as a place open to the community through bicycle promotion programs such as children's bicycle classes and track practice sessions, as well as various events.

As part of this initiative, this event was held to scientifically visualize the running form of members of the Matsusaka City team in the "Beautiful Mie City and Town Relay Race" using LEOMO's measuring equipment.

Participants were able to review the characteristics and challenges of their own running style using data, and based on the results, they received guidance for improvement and re-measurement. We provided them with an opportunity to experience changes and growth in their own running through objective data and practical application.

Through these initiatives, JPF will support people involved in sports in their communities, widely promote the appeal of sports, and contribute to the development of sports in local areas.

Participants wore LEOMO's measurement equipment (motion capture) and had their running form measured on a treadmill.

Based on the acquired data, participants reviewed their running footage and numerical data on a monitor while receiving feedback from expert staff on their running style characteristics and areas for improvement. After identifying individual challenges such as knee movement, leg lift, leg rotation, and form stability, drills were implemented to improve form. Following this, measurements were taken again, and comparing the footage and data before and after the measurement provided an opportunity to truly feel the changes in form and running style.

Matsusaka Keirin-jyo aims to serve not only as a venue Keirin) events, but also as a hub supporting sports activities for the local community. We are delighted that we were able to implement this initiative to support runners, going beyond the scope of promoting cycling. For us, who aim to create Keirin-jyo open to the community, it is of great significance that many people can enjoy sports by utilizing Keirin-jyo. We will continue to utilize Keirin-jyo and the Matsusaka Cycle Training Center to contribute to the promotion of cycling, sports, and empowering the town in Matsusaka City.

"This measurement allowed me to objectively confirm, through data, the areas I had previously felt were my weaknesses. In particular, there were aspects where my own sensations matched the measurement results, such as instability while running, which gave me a renewed sense of my own challenges. I was also able to experience the improvement drills firsthand, so I would like to incorporate them into my future training."

"I thought I was lifting my knees high enough when I ran, but when I checked the video and data, I realized I wasn't lifting them as high as I thought. After the improvement drills, my leg movement and rotation changed, and I felt like I could run more easily. I want to use what I learned this time in future training and competitions, and aim to break the national championship qualifying standard."
