The Financial Times and NIKKEI return as lead sponsors for Year 3

As the UK Ekiden returns for Year 3, we’re proud to continue our partnership with the Financial Times and NIKKEI.

Supporters from day one, the Financial Times and NIKKEI share our vision. Once again, we celebrate the best of Japan and the UK, support the next generation of student athletes, and of course, highlight the importance of teamwork, which is at the heart of an ekiden. 

“We are delighted that the FT Nikkei UK Ekiden Year 3 has been shaping up so well - a tribute to the teamwork, commitment and enthusiasm that characterises the race itself. As the ranks of teams and sponsors continues to grow, we are excited about the long-term potential for this special event”
