日本最北端わっかない平和マラソン

How to enter

Online entry via RUNNET (with foreign-language support) or SPORTS ENTRY. The race explicitly states it is open to overseas runners.

Entry platform

RUNNET (has an English/foreign-language entry page via Run Japan), SPORTS ENTRY

What you need

Runners must be 18 or older (no high school students) and able to finish the full marathon within 6 hours 30 minutes. RUNNET membership (free) is required for that platform.

Payment

Credit card, convenience store payment, or ATM (via RUNNET or SPORTS ENTRY). Postal transfer also available but likely impractical for overseas runners.

Bib pickup

Bibs and timing chips are mailed to participants in mid-August, so no in-person pickup is required.

Entry period

April 1, 2026 (00:00) to June 30, 2026. Note: the full marathon category closed early (as of June 7, 2026) after reaching capacity; shorter distances are still open during this period.

On race day

Free shuttle buses are provided between the main venue and the full marathon start at Soya Cape. Post-race buses also run to Soya Cape and Wakkanai Airport.

Notes

The site explicitly states the race welcomes overseas runners and provides a foreign-language entry page via Run Japan. Accommodation must be arranged independently; the organizer does not assist with bookings.
