The total fundraised amount, net of operating costs, will be donated annually in October to the Cancer Institute Hospital of Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research (JFCR). It’s the first and only private hospital specializing in cancer in Japan, and where the Kenroko founders' father attended for treatment.

 

The donations from runners and contributors, net of operating costs, will be used to support patients by creating a friendly and relaxing environment. Our goal is to create as many happy memories for the patients and their families. We will specify the project we'll be donating to each year, so you'll know exactly what you're supporting.

How Virtual races work

Running Club

ABOUT

Kenroko Founders

Why do you run? For us, we run to make a difference in other people's lives.

 

In memory of our father Kenji who fought cancer until age of 57, Yuriya (Ambassador for Reebok Fithub San Diego) and Motoki (Physical Therapist and Running Coach in Hawaii) founded Kenroko VRC, a Virtual Running Club for everyone who enjoys fitness. The name Kenroko comes from a combination of our parents’ names “Kenji” and “Hiroko”. We were blessed with loving parents and valued family time a lot, so we hope to share our family love to many families through Kenroko VRC. The purpose of this club is to engage with people around the world through fitness, by creating memories filled with fun, love, and support— similar to how we were raised by our parents.

 

Sadly, Japan does not have a donation culture, so that's why we founded Kenroko VRC to step up and help. We treasure all our memories with our father, so we hope to help as many families as we can in creating their own happy memories.

Special thank you to our affiliates
