On January 2, 2022, the 98th Hakone Ekiden, the most important sports event of the Japanese New Year, kicked off in Otemachi.

Although Aoyama Gakuin ranks second in the 10th place in terms of average 10,000 meters, all of its 16 registered members are on the 28-minute platform. Its deep bench thickness was described by Supervisor Hara Jin as "the best team in the history of Aoyama College". The institutions that will follow will be the scuffle, such as the Izumo Ekiden champion Tokyo International, Toyo, Chuangyu, Shuntendo and so on.
On the first day, the road course was 107.5 kilometers, and 21 universities competed in the same field.
