Run Alongside the World's Best

With a generous seven-hour time limit and the race starting and finishing at Vantelin Dome Nagoya, a covered baseball stadium, runners can enjoy a comfortable race experience with minimal impact from the weather. It's an ideal setting for first-time marathoners, reflected in the 96.6% finisher rate achieved in the 2026 race.
