Each year, the Tokyo Marathon Foundation hosts a variety of events leading up to the main event – the Tokyo Marathon. In the past, the Friendship Run and Family Run have been popular among Tokyo Marathon participants and runners in general. Starting in 2020, the spotlight will be shared with the Tokyo Marathon 1MILEs 2020.
The 1MILEs event gives children and adults the opportunity to run on the warm-up track of the National Stadium, which will be a central hosting venue for the 2020 Olympic Games.
Held in collaboration with the Japanese Association of Athletics Federations (JAAF), the 1 MILEs is approximately 1.6KM long and designed for family and friends to enjoy a short-distance fun run.
The Tokyo Marathon 2020 1MILEs will be held the day before the Tokyo Marathon, February 29 (Saturday) at 12:00PM.
