Marathon de Tokyo
The Tokyo Marathon covers 42.195 km through Japan’s capital, forming one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. This main event is part of a larger race week organized by the Tokyo Marathon Foundation. Alongside the marathon, there is the Tokyo Marathon Family Run, the Friendship Run, and virtual race options for individuals and pairs. The participants include elite runners, elite wheelchair racers, general entrants, charity participants, and runners guided by official pacers, all within the same event framework. The event is structured as a large city marathon, not just a single day's race. It features an EXPO for attendees and exhibitors, volunteer initiatives, official merchandise like Tokyo Marathon Karuta, and projects focused on sustainability and art. The charity program contributes to specific causes, such as Noto Peninsula earthquake relief. The Foundation also manages related initiatives, including ONE TOKYO, RUN as ONE, GREEN MILEAGE, the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon, and Run with Heart.
