The Sohoku High Bicycle Club is preparing for an upcoming Japanese sports event.
Yowamushi Pedal will collaborate with the Japan Cup 2015 Cycle Road Race in Utsunomiya taking place between October 10-11 and October 16-18. On the latter two days of the event, the anime will be present in the form of event goodies and a special lottery where participants can win an autograph from manga author Wataru Watanabe.
A special lottery will be held during the morning of the event. The winner will receive the autograph printed on a limited edition tote bag.
Special collaboration goods include celebratory biking apparel and even Yowamushi Pedal car decals. These will be available at the Japan Cup online shop.
A special promotional poster has been released featuring anime character Shōkichi Naruko paired alongside a participating biking team, the Utsunomiya Blitzen. It also advertises a special event shop opening on October 1 until the end of the Japan Cup.
