Kanazawa Marathon 2026

The Kanazawa Marathon, established in 2015, is a long-distance race in Kanazawa, the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture. It takes place in autumn and is designed for both recreational runners and competitive club athletes. Official course details, venue maps, volunteer information, and race updates are provided via the event’s dedicated app. The course remains within Kanazawa City, guiding participants past popular attractions such as Kenroku-en garden and the Higashi Chaya historic district. Aid stations contribute to the local atmosphere, offering runners Kanazawa sweets, Kanazawa Curry, and other Ishikawa specialties at Tabemasshi Station. Guest pace runners, including well-known athletes, also support participants, ensuring the event feels accessible rather than exclusive.
