On January 27th, 2019 our Twin City of Fujisawa, Japan held their 2019 Shonan Fujisawa Citizens marathon.

A City of Windsor display was set up, twin cities were introduced during the prize presentation ceremony and the 1st and 2nd place winners of the race were presented with swag from the City of Windsor.
