Nod's 2026 Tokyo Marathon Benefiting No-Kill Dog Shelters!

Hello! My name is Nod, a runner based in New York City. I am so happy to announce my privilege of being able to run the 2026 Tokyo Marathon through a charity bib courtesy of Peace Wanko Japan, otherwise known as Peace Winds Japan!

I chose to run with this organization because Peace Wanko Japan is a non-profit focused on supporting no-kill animal shelters throughout the country. As a proud parent of my own little rescue dog, Bigby, I can't imagine my life without my rambunctious lil rascal, and I'm glad to have been able to provide him with a better life in turn. As such, Peace Wanko's Mission is one I can fully get behind. More dogs with loving parents, please!

I picked up running in March for my own personal health, but I am so stoked for the opportunity to run for this charity; and to do my part to place more and more dogs in their forever homes. Please donate what you can to help me in this mission! 頑張りましょう！！
