Tokyo Marathon 2022: On Sunday, March 6th, the Tokyo Marathon, which will no longer be held from March 2020, will finally be held. Nearly 25,000 athletes hit the streets of Japan’s largest city, chasing the finish line and personal best. The 2021 Tokyo Marathon was held in October last year until the COVID-19 Delta variant was forced to postpone. Race officials have decided to move the 2021 edition on March 6th this year and officially cancel the 2022 race.
The Tokyo Marathon is a major event in early spring with about 40,000 participants every year. A wide variety of runners will participate, from top runners aiming for the Olympics to those who have never run a marathon. Some people may not have been interested in the marathon at all, while others may have started practicing in the wake of the Tokyo Marathon.
It’s still a chilly season in early spring, but the heat of the marathon is tremendous. Not only the participants but also many people are looking forward to seeing and cheering along the road.
