えきでんは ながみち何人なんにんかで はしりつなぐ スポーツです。

ひとつの くみは たいてい 六人ろくにんから 十人じゅうにんくらいです。

はしひと毎日まいにち 練習れんしゅうして からだつよくします。

自分じぶん区間くかんわると つぎの ひとに タスキを わたしします。

一秒いちびょうでも はやはしろうと みんな ゴールまで ちからします。

みちよこて いる ひとたちも おおきな こえで おうえんします。

Translation

Ekiden is a sport in which several people take turns running a long road.

A team usually has about six to ten people.

The runners practice every day to make their bodies strong.

When their own leg ends, they hand the tasuki directly to the next person.

Hoping to run even one second faster, everyone gives their all to the goal.

The people watching by the roadside also cheer in loud voices.
