JA From London to Windsor Castle, Japan to Brazil, and along the race route, sponsors, supporters, and friends of the FT Nikkei UK Ekiden joined together in a global relay — passing the tasuki from one hand to the next all over the world.
As we explored in our blog, The tasuki: exploring symbolism, its cultural significance and the role in Ekiden races. the tasuki represents more than a piece of fabric. It embodies the shared endeavour of each team and the interconnectedness of the runners. Each member doesn’t just pass a sash; they pass on the responsibility, the trust, and the spirit of the team to the next runner.
In the corporate world, the act of passing the tasuki resonates just as deeply. From one colleague to another, from one leader to the next, it symbolises the handover of responsibility and belief in one another — creating achievements that are greater than the individual, contributing to something much larger.
The FT Nikkei UK Ekiden was more than a race on a single day — it was a shared journey, a global community, and a celebration of teamwork that transcends borders.
