Since joining Honda in 2022, Mori has steadily improved his competitive performance. This season, he has been demonstrating his competitive toughness, recording the second-fastest time ever by a Japanese runner in the men’s 3000m event at the Seiko Golden Grand Prix held in May. Later that month, at the Asian Athletics Championships held in Korea, he earned a bronze medal by competing strongly against some of Asia’s top runners. Building on these achievements, Mori secured a berth at the WCH Tokyo 25. In this first opportunity to face world-level competition, he will boldly take on the challenge of competing against the world’s top-class runners.
At the WCH Tokyo 25, the men’s 5000m heats are scheduled on Friday, September 19, with the final on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the Japan National Stadium.
As official partner of the WCH Tokyo 25, Honda will provide environmentally-responsible official vehicles, including electric vehicles, based on its theme — “Maximizing the excitement and inspiration from the athletes’ great performance, through the realization of an environmentally-responsible and safe event by providing a wide variety of mobility products equipped with innovative technologies.”
Based on the Honda vision for its sports activities – “To increase the number of people who take on challenges through sports activities and make the lives of all people more enjoyable” – Honda will continue to support various athletes who take on challenges toward the realization of their own dreams.
