We will have details of the 2011 Tokyo Marathon available shortly. We expect, but are not yet sure, that the Tokyo Marathon will be held on 27th February 2011, but as soon as we are informed, we will udpate the website.

We thought you would be interested to hear what Adrian, one of our runners in 2010, thought of the Tokyo Marathon.

“Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Tokyo was a fascinating city. The night life was great. Although not advisable before a marathon we stayed out one night til 5 a.m. The Fuji trip and the sightseeing were excellent and the Bullet train sensational. All the logistics of the trip went perfectly particularly after the race – which of course is a critical time. The Japanese organization and planning were done to perfection. So all in all one of the best marathons we have done. Incidentally this was my tenth so I’m feeling quite pleased with myself . I think Tokyo deserves to be included as one of the World Majors.”

Great praise indeed!

Come join us in Tokyo, one of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the world where the world’s top runners intermingle with ordinary citizens in the style of the ING New York City Marathon and Virgin London Marathons!!

The course of the Tokyo Marathon symbolizes the past, present and the future of Tokyo, and during the unforgettable 26.2 mile journey the runners will have the chance to thoroughly enjoy this legendary city’s legacy!

The Tokyo Marathon starts in front of the impressive Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and passes through numerous famous sightseeing spots to finish at Tokyo Big Sight Convention Centre. A 10km road race is also held at the same time.
