とちぎチャレンジマラソン2026INカンセキスタジアムとちぎ

The Tochigi Challenge Marathon is a timed running event held at Kanseki Stadium in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. It is designed for a limited number of participants, from about 100 to 499, and welcomes runners of all ages, from children to adults. Families can participate together in the parent-child run, while school-age runners have specific categories. Junior high school students and older may register for multiple events. The event takes place at the stadium in Nishikawata, Utsunomiya, suggesting a local, accessible challenge rather than a large-scale city marathon. Runners use timing chips; those with a Tochi-Tore bib and chip can use their own, or rent chips from the event. Registration fees are modest, with reduced rates for elementary and junior high school students, distinct pricing for parent-child teams, and tiered adult fees based on registration date and equipment ownership. Participants receive a participation prize, with additional benefits noted.
