Entering from overseas

INBOUND

Possible via an entry platform

How to enter

Online entry via RUNNET (lottery for general half marathon; first-come-first-served for charity and Youth Run). Non-Japanese nationals without JAAF registration enter the general category.

Entry platform

RUNNET (runnet.jp) – free membership registration required.

What you need

Must be 18 or older on race day and able to finish within the time limit. Minato Ward residents are given priority in the lottery. No domestic address requirement is explicitly stated, but RUNNET registration is required.

Payment

¥10,000 (general half marathon) plus RUNNET system fee (6% of payment over ¥4,000). Payment must be completed by the deadline after lottery results are announced.

Bib pickup

Bibs and timing chips are mailed to participants in early November. There is NO race-day bib pickup at the venue, so bibs must be received in advance — this implies a Japanese mailing address is needed.

Entry period

General entry opened 1 July 2026 and closed 13 July 2026; lottery results announced 3 August 2026; payment deadline 17 August 2026.

Notes

Because bibs are mailed out in early November and there is no on-site pickup, overseas runners would need a Japanese address to receive their bib. The race explicitly welcomes non-Japanese runners (non-JAAF foreign nationals enter the general category), but the mailing-only bib distribution is a practical barrier for those without a Japan address.
