At the 'Fukui Sakura Marathon' held on March 29, 2026, Sakura-dori Orthopedic Clinic deployed 180 utility pole ads as an initiative to support the event, sending cheers to all participating runners.
This initiative was carried out out of a desire to support everyone who challenges themselves in sports, as a community-based medical institution (Eternabloom Medical Corporation Sakura-dori Orthopedic Clinic).
In this marathon, where many runners dashed under the fully blooming cherry blossoms, the advertisements placed at various locations along the roadside served to push the participants forward.
■ The Director's Original Experience and Continuing Challenge
Shuhei Ugaji, the director of Sakura-dori Orthopedic Clinic, experienced repeated sprains while devoting himself to volleyball during his junior high school years.
At the time, realizing the 'frustration of not being able to play as desired' and the 'importance of appropriate care' became one of the major motivations for him to pursue a career in medicine.
Furthermore, the director himself has participated in the Fukui Sakura Marathon continuously since its first event, making this his third time competing. Because he continues to run as an actual runner, he understands the value of taking on challenges, the physical burden, and the importance of support through personal experience.
