The 32nd Kyushu International Three Day March 2027 will proceed!
~ Shortened to Two Days Due to the Impact of the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake ~

The Organizing Committee has decided shorten the 32nd Kyushu International Three Day March 2027 to a two-day event, taking place on Saturday, March 6 and Sunday March 7, 2027.
Due to ongoing restoration work on sidewalks and roads affected by the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake, the longest course will be limited to 20 km. However, the event will be officially recognized by both the International Marching League (IML) and the Japan Marching League (JML).

We are making preparations to ensure that walkers from Japan and abroad can experience the spirit of Yatsushiro as it continues its journey toward recovery and reconstruction.
