10/24(土)：ロケットマラソン2026大阪大会【5km・10km・ハーフ】

Rocket Marathon Osaka takes place in Nishinakajima, Yodogawa Ward, Osaka, starting at the baseball field in Yodogawa River Park. It occurs in late October, forming part of the Rocket Marathon series, and offers 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon distances. The concept is to provide runners a "rocket start" to marathon season, whether they are assessing fitness, training for longer races, or competing in a shorter distance. The 5 km and 10 km races are open to participants from elementary school age, and the half marathon is open to those from junior high school age. This allows for a diverse field including families, novices, club runners, and more seasoned athletes. The event uses chip timing and typically attracts between 500 and 1000 participants. The course winds through the Nishinakajima area along the Yodogawa River. Feedback indicates the course features moderate elevation changes, not a completely flat route. This offers a more realistic challenge than a pure time-trial course, yet remains suitable for a first race or an early-season assessment. The organizers provide pacers to assist runners in achieving their targets. Comments from related events highlight efficient organization, ample staff presence, and a conducive environment for corporate teams or colleagues to support each other. Registration is managed via Moshicom, featuring tiered pricing (early, regular, late), proxy registration options, and payment methods including credit card, Amazon Pay, or convenience store payment.
