About this race
The Easternmost Nemuro Seaside Marathon takes place in Nemuro, located on Hokkaido's far eastern tip. Races range from 1 km and 3 km to 5 km, 10 km, and a half marathon, all beginning and ending at the Nemuro City Youth Center. This variety allows families and runners of all levels to participate together.
The course offers views of the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Northern Territories, with Kunashiri Island visible on clear days. The path transitions between urban streets and northern wilderness, featuring wind-shaped mizunara oak trees, pastures, and dairy cows. Participants receive a whole Hanasaki crab upon finishing, with teppou soup made from the same crab available for free. A lottery for local seafood products is also held.
