Oishii Running in Shin-Yokohama

Curiously enough, combining running and eating seems to have become something of an exercise trend: Odaiba's Sweets Marathon pairs sugary treats with seaside jogging, while Shin-Yokohama's answer takes things in an even more gluttonous direction. The recipe is simple: finish either a 5km or a 10km course and head straight to an all you-can-eat feast at Thai restaurant Mango Tree or, even better, pancake wonderland Slappy Cakes. The Xspot facility in Shin-Yokohama Park is also letting participants borrow the latest running shoes for free. The sign-up page for the event is here (in Japanese only, unfortunately).
