About the event
Take on the Japanese capital and run through one of the most amazing global cities, it's the Tokyo Marathon.
Starting in Shinjuku, the Tokyo Marathon runs through the incredible streets of downtown Tokyo, weaving its way past skyscrapers, shrines and parks before finishing outside the historical Imperial Palace.
The Tokyo Marathon course is net downhill, with an elevation gain of just 60m (198ft), making it perfect for a PB attempt.
The Tokyo Marathon is part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, a group of six major world marathons, with finishers of all six races receiving a coveted Six Star medal.
Applications for the 2024 Tokyo Marathon are closed, but look out for how you can enter the 2025 edition from June.
