The goal is to provide a browsable archive that connects athletes, affiliations, schools, personal bests, and race results in one place.

Rather than a one-off roster, the project is being shaped as a long-term reference site starting from major ekiden competitions.

The current archive is gradually organizing competition editions, organizations, athlete profiles, key PBs, and race records.

Some entries are still being verified or expanded as the dataset grows.

The site is operated individually and relies on publicly available sources wherever possible.

Ongoing work focuses on data maintenance, source verification, and product improvements.

Support goes toward data cleanup, new competition coverage, page improvements, and search experience updates.

In the near term, the focus is on expanding major competition pages and improving readability for athlete and organization pages.

This page is a first-pass support flow to validate whether voluntary support makes sense for the project.

Project background, operator details, and support guidance will continue to be clarified over time.
