It is unfortunate, because I was looking foward to the changes in CR. Time will only tell if this is the right thing to do. So just to clear things, CR will continue as usual from Ueno to Jingu Gaien via Tokyo Station and Tameike Sanno.  I am sorry for posting the proposed changes for CR.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>From 9-3-03</b></I></div> <div> <B>Changes for CR</b></div> <div> The City Run in Tokyo has been going on for the last four years and the number of skaters have increased (an average of 30 skaters per week from 15 skaters per week in 1999). The main route from Ueno to Jingu Gaien has become redundant and skates to other parts of Tokyo have become very infrequent. Because of Starbucks closing at TBS in Akasaka, the main route will drastically change and CR will break at Starbucks in Roppongi Hills with Omotesandou becoming the new finishing point. CR will also try to skate more often to such places as Odaiba and Shinjuku. The overall distance of CR will also increase to about 13 from 10 km.
