Still I'd apply as soon as they take applicates which will be in Feb 2011. If they don't have English online application forms I will be happy to apply for anyone who wants to join from here.<br /><br />Anyway I will be planning 3 packages to choose from with my Samurai Running Tours, from bare bones budget to semi luxury. I'll have them together by the end of the year so it should make it easier still to decide! All packages will be at cost and far cheaper then anyone could do booking themselves.<br /><br />As our Mayor said this will not just be a "Tokyo mark 2 race" it will be something special and you gotta believe Osaka will put on a show ;)Samurai Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295160713705142193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-91130461349782082912010-09-20T12:25:59.504+09:002010-09-20T12:25:59.504+09:00That's a good altenative to Tokyo Marathon!

I'm not going to be able to for the next couple of years so you have to ensure two things for me:<br />1. It's such a success that it continues; and<br />2. Samurai running continues so that I can use your expertise!Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15201034525490463668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-87750953386656580672010-09-11T20:13:12.645+09:002010-09-11T20:13:12.645+09:00Thanks Scott - keep us updated.
