Entering from overseas

INBOUND

Possible via an entry platform

How to enter

Online entry via RUNNET (free registration required). General entry period was 26 Sep – 31 Oct 2025.

Entry platform

RUNNET (runnet.jp)

What you need

RUNNET account required. Participants must be aged 18+ for the marathon. Fast-time seeding requires uploading a race certificate from a post-2021 event.

Payment

Credit card, convenience store payment, or ATM bank transfer (service fee: 6% for entries over ¥4,000).

Bib pickup

Bibs and timing chips are mailed to participants in early January; no race-day registration or bib pickup.

Entry period

General entry: 26 September – 31 October 2025. Entry is now closed for the 2026 race (25 January 2026).

On race day

Medical staff (doctors and nurses) are stationed on course. No race-day registration counter; runners must bring their pre-mailed bib and chip.

Notes

Because bibs are posted to a mailing address, overseas runners need a Japanese address for delivery, which is a practical barrier. RUNNET membership may also require a Japanese phone number or address. No explicit overseas entry provision is mentioned.
