7-hour time limit—Perfect race for beginners!

The Nagoya International Women's Marathon, which had previously served as a qualifying race for the Olympics and World Championships, was completely revamped in 2012 to meet the expectations of running enthusiasts across the country. The course, which starts and finishes at the Vantelin Dome Nagoya and takes in various famous sights in Nagoya, has few ups and downs and is popular for making it easy to aim for a record. The Nagoya Women's Marathon will have an elite race, but the time limit will be set at seven hours. This makes it an event that even beginners can easily complete. (2025 race results: 97%)

“Platinum Label”, the highest-ranking label

The "Platinum Label" is the highest rating given by World Athletics in their labeling system for road races around the world. This race was certified with the label in November 2019, and has evolved into a marathon that spreads the name of "Nagoya" to the world. Other examples of races that have received the Platinum Label include the Boston Marathon (USA), the London Marathon (UK), the Berlin Marathon (Germany), and the Tokyo Marathon.

Holding a Guinness World Records record title!

In the first race in 2012, 13,114 runners ran, earning it a Guinness World Record for being the world's largest women's marathon. The record has continued to be updated every year since 2013, and is currently recognized as a Guinness World Record with an updated record of 21,915 runners in 2018.

Marathon Expo full of attractions.

At the main venue, the Vantelin Dome Nagoya, the "Marathon EXPO" is held two days before the race. In addition to booths from the race's sponsors, there are plenty of events planned, such as sales of original goods and stage events featuring impressive guests. It is a popular event that attracts about 100,000 visitors over the three days. Outside of the race, the venue is also being enlivened with "GO RUNWAY," a fashion show that turns the marathon's finish lane into a runway, creating "scenes where women can shine."
