Creating opportunities to experience the joy of running.
The Tokyo Marathon Foundation strives to spread the joy of running by organizing various running events and movements.
Our major event, the Tokyo Marathon, launched in 2007 and has since grown into a unique event that brings together more than 30,000 runners, 10,000 volunteers, and many spectators cheering from the sidelines or at home. The race continues to evolve as we seek to deliver the world’s best marathon.
We also hold various official events, including the Family Run for kids and adults, and the Friendship Run, where running enthusiasts from all over the world gather to engage in cultural exchange.
The Tokyo Marathon Foundation will be introducing the "Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon" in an effort to maximize and extend the legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Games. With the start and finish at the National Stadium, the course is designed adopting the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic marathon course.
