Social Responsibility

The Konica Minolta Track and Field Club has made a mark in many long-distance relay road races and medium-to-long distance races. It holds running classes, which are available to the public, at the club's training base in Tokyo and other venues across Japan. Each class has 100 to 150 participants, varying from elementary school students to adults. They receive coaching from the club's members on everything from basic stretching to their running form.

Konica Minolta is a special sponsor of the Summer Kids Days golf workshops run by the Ladies Professional Golfers Association of Japan. These events are held across the country with the goal of giving elementary and junior high school students easy access to the experience of playing golf.
