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.
