Applicants must be born on or before April 1, 2008 (excluding high school students) and be able to finish within 6 hours 30 minutes. Overseas runners are eligible under the general and charity entry categories.

Payment

Overseas residents pay ¥28,000 for the general marathon entry, or ¥63,000 for the charity entry (which includes the ¥28,000 participation fee). A separate entry handling fee also applies.

Bib pickup

Bib and timing chip pickup is on January 30, 2027 (Saturday), 9:00–20:00 at Isahaya City Central Gymnasium (Uchimura Memorial Arena). There is no race-day pickup. Runners in the furusato tax and charity categories have bibs sent in advance.
