Komazawa University runners were in perfect stride at the Tokyo-Hakone Intercollegiate Ekiden.
The team stayed steady in the return trip from Hakone to Tokyo on Tuesday, keeping its first-day lead and holding off the field with relative ease to win the 99th edition of the race.
Komazawa clocked 10 hours 47 minutes 11 seconds over the two-day, 10-leg road relay that covers 217.1 kilometers.
