Toyama Marathon 2026

The Toyama Marathon guides runners through three locations on Japan’s Toyama coast: Takaoka City, Imizu City, and Toyama City. This is a certified 42.195 km road marathon held in November, with a time limit of approximately seven hours, making it suitable for newer marathoners and regular runners alike. The race begins at Takaoka City Hall and concludes at Fugan Canal Kansui Park in Toyama, presenting a point-to-point course instead of a city-center loop. The course offers participants extensive views of the prefecture, from Takaoka Daibutsu near the starting point to vistas of Toyama Bay and the Tateyama Mountain Range. The event is managed by JAAF Toyama and the Toyama Marathon Committee, and it includes jogging and wheelchair divisions in addition to the marathon. Runners who finish receive a medal and towel, participants are given a T-shirt, and the event also provides charity support for the Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
