About this race
The Kamogawa Eco Marathon GW Special is a small Japanese running event held during Golden Week. The program includes a half marathon, a 10k, and a 5k fun run. A recent edition saw about 220 runners on a cloudy, dry day with a high of 19C, giving it the feel of a local race rather than a big-city marathon.
The field comprises regular participants and international runners from the Netherlands, Germany, France, and other nations. Organizers aim for a personal atmosphere, where runners and staff can recognize each other. The race's front remains competitive, with winning times near 1:20 for the men's half marathon and just over 32 minutes for the men's 10k.
