Osaka Marathon
The Osaka Marathon is a large-scale urban marathon where over 30,000 runners race through the city of Osaka. It's a 42.195km journey that starts at Osaka Castle Park and tours the main sights of Osaka city. The initial crowded start, coupled with the endless cheers from spectators filling the roadside, provides a powerful push for the runners. The warm hospitality unique to Osaka is also one of its charms.
