"Let us have HFHJ known to people in a new way". This is the concept we had had when we participated in "Frostbite" held in Yokota U.S. Air Force Base.　It was expected to snow, but we had a very fine weather. Frostbite is a large-scaled rally with a kid's marathon, five-kilo marathon and half-distance marathon held at once and there were 7,000 participants which made the place lively.
In the beginning, we had a warm-up exercise just like Billy's Boot Camp,which made the place heat up. Some of the participants had dressed in tiger or maid costumes, which made it interesting to the audiences.
The members gathered from UT-Habitat wore Habitat's jacket
and had put a stickers on their backs (which was a plan to have people running behind notice!) We participa- ted in the marathon uniquely, by running with hats and balloons which we had made on our own.　And moreover, some of the members had zigzagged while running! Thanks to our member's efforts and the base's discretion of putting our booth next to the winner's platform, we had many people visit our booth with interest during the marathon. From our participation in the marathon, we hope that we had successfully provided opportunity for people to learn about Habitat's activities and to gain new interests from everyone
