P. M. from Tokyo, Japan (4/7/2009)

"Brilliantly organized and fast time potential" (about: 2009)

2 previous marathons | 1 Tokyo Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5

The whole day was very efficiently organized. There were no long waits at the start or finish, unlike the only other similar scale marathon I've done (New York). The roads are very wide, so it's easy to pass people at the start and the crowds are enthusiastic. My one complaint would be that there is very little in the way of support past 30K, when you need it the most! The last 10K in Odaiba were a bit deserted in comparison to the 5- or 6-deep crowds in Ginza. Oh, and the marathon expo was far better than New York's too, I found. There were many more choice, and it was probably twice as large. Overall, it didn't have quite the same magic as New York did, but it was a great experience nonetheless, and I will be back next year for sure.

C. P. from Tokyo, Japan (11/1/2008)

"This will soon be competing with Berlin and London" (about: 2008)

6-10 previous marathons | 2 Tokyo Marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4

I ran the 1st 2 editions of this race. The course is very fast, and the streets are wide, so there's great PB potential. Support is good in marathon-fanatical Japan.
