About this race
The Raffine Imperial Palace 20K Run begins at the Raffine Running Style Otemachi One store in Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward. Participants complete four laps around the Imperial Palace. This is a straightforward 20-kilometer training race suitable for beginner to intermediate runners. Check-in is from 7:00 AM, and the entry fee is 1,500 yen for all pace groups.
The event emphasizes controlled pacing over a large group start. Runners select groups based on marathon target times ranging from sub-3.5 to sub-4.5 hours. Pace options are available from 4:45 per kilometer to 6:00 per kilometer. The repeating palace loop simplifies the event structure: join your designated group, maintain the set pace, and utilize the morning for a structured long run in central Tokyo. Proxy registration is permitted, and payment can be made via credit card, Amazon Pay, or at convenience stores.
