The GPS Art Contest will be held at the Kanazawa Marathon Online event.

Yassan will participate as a member of the jury.
GPS art has spread throughout the running culture, and in the past two years, it has even made its way into citizen marathons. It has become a part of daily training as “drawing runs”.
In addition, citizen marathons are also connected to local community development. In other words, it is a place to practice “community development x GPS art,” which is Yassan’s goal. We hope that the participants of the event will be able to experience the historical and cultural attractions of Kanazawa, the host city, through the Drawing Run, and that they will be inspired to actually visit the city someday.

Another member of the jury, Mr. Motoi Ishikawa, is making efforts to make his hometown, Kanazawa, a city of GPS art.
Kanazawa is a rare city in Japan that has never been affected by war. The road plan of the castle town developed during the Warring States period has been maintained to this day. Kanazawa Castle Town, with its unique maze-like road network, has an affinity for GPS art.
Various GPS art events have been planned and realized in Kanazawa.

The familiar cityscape can be seen from a different perspective through GPS art. We hope you will join us and enjoy a little bit of the extraordinary running of GPS art.
