About 50 Soldiers and civilians from U.S. Army Japan supported Sagamihara City to host the Men’s and Women’s Cycling Road Race at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games on July 24th and 25th.
During both events, the U.S. Army Japan members and volunteers from local communities grouped into three different teams and helped set up barriers, ensure the overall safety of the participants, and clean up streets after the event.
The 151-mile men’s race began in Musashi-no-mori Park in Tokyo and traveled through Sagamihara City in Kanagawa and Yamanashi prefectures, finishing at the Fuji International Speedway race track. The women’s race had a similar route, but was 60 miles shorter in distance.
