Kobe Marathon

Based on the theme of "gratitude and friendship," the Kobe Marathon aims not just to run, but to "run for the people." It aims to share with the world the image of Kobe, which has recovered from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and the lessons it has learned, and to convey gratitude for the support it has received from both within Japan and overseas, while placing importance on the awareness that everyone is part of it. A major attraction of the event is that it allows runners to share their joy and sense of unity not only with each other, but also with those who are cheering them on. It is a special event where you can feel the feelings of those who overcame the disaster and the importance of supporting each other while running through the beautiful scenery of Kobe.

Hokkaido Marathon

The Hokkaido Marathon, which began as a small step in 1987, has now grown into a major event that brings together over 20,000 runners. Why not sweat it out with the top runners on this stage, which many Olympic athletes have experienced? The countdown of the electronic clock at the Sapporo TV Tower, the cheers that fill Odori Park, and the emotional moment at the finish line. The Hokkaido Marathon is more than just a run; it promises to be a special, life-changing experience.

Fukuoka International Marathon

The Fukuoka International Marathon is Japan's leading men's marathon, held since 1947. The historic course, where two world records have been set, continues to inspire the spirit of challenge among elite runners even today. The event brings together the entire city of Fukuoka to enthusiastically support the runners. This year, the world's top runners will gather again to compete in a heated battle.

Tokyo Marathon

The Tokyo Marathon began in 2007 and is held every March as one of the world's largest urban marathons. Over 30,000 runners start in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, passing through famous sites such as Asakusa, Ginza, the area around the Imperial Palace, and Shinagawa before heading to Gyoko-dori street in front of Tokyo Station. The course is easy to run on, with few elevation changes and curves. You can experience the drama of the 42.195km course while enjoying the Tokyo cityscape that you normally can't run through. There is also enthusiastic support from the roadside, encouraging the runners.
