VALX Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Masayuki Tadaishi, hereinafter VALX), which develops the fitness brand 'VALX', announced that a wide range of generations from 0 to 99 years old will gather at the fan-participation event 'VALX Grand Sports Day' scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 2, 2026, and that the oldest participant, aged 99, will serve as the athlete's oath taker.
A wide range of generations has entered this event, from 0-year-old babies participating with their parents to a 99-year-old participant who embodies the '100-year life' era.
We expect many people to participate as a place where they can share 'the joy of moving their bodies' and 'the spirit of challenge' regardless of age, gender, or athletic experience.
The main highlight is the athlete's oath given by the oldest participant at 99 years old.
This participant is someone who has continued to challenge herself regardless of age, such as visiting Germany on her own feet at the age of 97.
As a 'senior in life', she will deliver a powerful message to the younger generations who will continue to take on challenges.
Her presence is expected to be more than just a scene in an event; it will be a symbolic moment where values intersect across generations.
It will serve as new inspiration for younger generations and an opportunity to take the next step for those who have accumulated life experience.
Different generations will stand on the same field, influencing each other, creating an unprecedented sports day.
In addition, ballerina Kumiko Ishii, the granddaughter of Reiko Ishii, is also scheduled to participate in this event.
Through this event, we will create a place where individual challenges intersect regardless of age or experience, delivering the joy of moving one's body to even more people.
