Two qualified marathon runners, Daiki Nitta and Hiroko Hamada, will be coming to Culver City as guests of the Culver City Sister City Committee to run in the L.A. Marathon.
Two years ago Nitta was set to run in the L.A. Marathon as part of our annual Sister City trade with Kaizuka when he got called back into service and had to assist with the devastation in Japan following their multiple disasters.
The guests will be arriving March 14 and staying until March 19. During their visit they will stay with the runners that represented Culver City in the Senshu Marathon in Osaka in February, Tim Petersen and Michelle Hendrickson.
The Culver City community is invited to attend a Mystery Welcome American BBQ event on Friday, March 15. There is no charge to attend; however, RSVPs are required. Call Alice at (310)713-4331and the 6:30 pm dinner location will then be revealed.
The Kaizuka runners will be accompanied by several Culver City runners during the marathon and will participate in several activities while touring Culver City.
Monday, March 18th will be another opportunity to meet and say Sayonara to our guests as we’ll host another Mystery location Farewell Dinner party in their honor. This event is also free, but RSVPs are required in order to find out where this Culver City dinner location is. Call Alice at (310)713-4331.
Culver City Sister City Committee Marathon Chairman, Allison Burns may be reached by email at ahburns119@gmail.com for additional information regarding the Kaizuka visitors.
