From Tokyo to New York, this is the journey of six destinations, six breaths, one pride.
Some say life is a marathon, not a sprint. But for true runners, a marathon isn't just about the finish line. It's a journey across cities, continents, even beyond personal limits. At the pinnacle of all these journeys, there's one gleaming dream: the Six Star Medal.

Six Cities, One Legend
To earn the Six Star Medal, a runner must conquer the world's six most prestigious marathons: Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City.
Six cities with contrasting characters—from the bustle of Shinjuku and the historic streets of Boston, to the roaring Times Square embracing finishers with cheers. Each city tells its own story.
Orderly and spirited Tokyo; flat and fast Berlin, where many world records are set; to soul-shaking New York with its bridges and wild crowds. Finishing just one is extraordinary. Six? That's legendary status.
More Than Just Running
For the younger generation passionate about travel and sport, the Six Star Medal is more than a trophy. It's a ticket to explore the world through your own footsteps. Imagine, every starting line is a passport, every finish line an imaginary stamp on your soul. You're not just a tourist; you conquer the city with your own breath.
And make no mistake, the global community of Six Star finishers is solid. Many started just "joining Tokyo for fun," then unconsciously saved time, energy, and dreams for the next five cities. They are not just runners, but adventurers, with running shoes as their wings.
Unbeatable Prestige
To this day, only a few thousand people in the world hold this medal. When worn, its design is simple: six silver stars circling around. But to those who understand, it's not just metal; it's a life story.
Chasing the Six Star Medal means Chasing the World. One step on Tokyo's roads, one breath on the Brooklyn Bridge, one drop of sweat in Berlin's Tiergarten – all blend into a story that cannot be bought.
For those of you who love travel and sports, maybe it's time to ask, "Which city do I want to conquer first?"
