How to enter

Entry requires mailing a paper application form along with bank transfer or postal transfer receipt to the Osaka office; FAX or email submission of forms is also accepted.

Entry platform

RUNNET and Sports Entry were listed as options, but both are now closed for this edition.

What you need

Applicants must send a physical application form to a Japanese postal address; a Japanese bank account is needed for the transfer payment. In-person bib pickup on race day (8:30–10:20) is required.

Payment

Entry fee (¥4,000–¥5,000) must be paid by bank transfer or postal transfer to a Japanese account; cash registered mail is also accepted.

Bib pickup

Bibs are collected at the venue (Yanmar Field Nagai, indoor practice area) on race day between 8:30 and 10:20, up to 10 minutes before each start. No advance or alternative pickup is mentioned.

Entry period

Applications were accepted from 28 November 2025 to 13 February 2026 (postmark valid); a secondary entry window ran 14–20 February 2026. Both periods are now closed.

Notes

This race is effectively inaccessible to overseas runners: entry requires mailing a Japanese-address application, paying via a Japanese bank account, and collecting bibs in person on race day. The next edition is scheduled for 7 March 2027; details will be posted around October.
