Kyoto Marathon
The Kyoto Marathon is an urban marathon held in Kyoto, Japan's beautiful ancient capital. Held in late February every year, it is a spectacular 42.195km journey starting from Nishikyogoku Athletic Park and visiting numerous World Heritage Sites and tourist attractions such as Arashiyama, Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryu-ji Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kamigamo Shrine, and Kyoto Imperial Palace. Running through Kyoto's atmospheric streets, experiencing historical buildings and beautiful nature up close, gives runners a special feeling. The warm cheers of local residents echo along the roadside, and the performance of Japanese drums and Kyoto-style hospitality will encourage runners and create unforgettable memories.
