Saga Sakura Marathon

How to enter

Online entry via RUNNET only; no on-site entry accepted.

Entry platform

RUNNET (runnet.jp) — free membership registration required before entry.

What you need

Runners must be 18 or older (marathon) or 15 or older (fun run). A RUNNET account is required. Bibs and timing chips are mailed to the address registered at entry, so a valid delivery address is needed.

Payment

Credit card, convenience store, or ATM payment accepted at time of entry. A 6% entry handling fee applies.

Bib pickup

No race-day bib pickup. Bibs, timing chips, and participation T-shirts are mailed to the entrant's registered address in late February. Forgetting your bib/chip means you cannot start (re-issue available at a fee on race day).

Entry period

Entry opens 1 October 2025 at 20:00 and closes 21 October 2025 at 23:59, or earlier if capacity is reached.

On race day

Multiple aid stations and medical stations are set along the course. Runners are advised to carry their health insurance card on race day.

Notes

Because bibs are mailed to the address provided at registration, overseas runners need a reliable Japanese delivery address (e.g. hotel or contact in Japan) or must arrange forwarding. No explicit overseas-entry support or English registration process is mentioned on the site.
