The Osaka Yodogawa Night Marathon takes place in the evening along the Yodo River in Osaka, offering 30 km, 10 km, and 5 km distances. The 30 km race starts in the late afternoon transitioning into early evening, and the shorter races begin at dusk, structuring the event around running as the day's heat subsides.
The schedule employs staggered starts, with the 30 km participants beginning first, followed by the 10 km and 5 km fields. All races conclude by 22:00, giving the event a distinct night-race atmosphere without extending into an overnight ultra. This format appeals to runners seeking a river course who prefer to avoid the heat and direct sun of a daytime event.
