About the Aomori Sakura Marathon

Aomori's full marathon combines a relatively compact field with a citywide spring festival atmosphere. The event also offers shorter distances, but the full route receives the broadest city tour.

Course

The marathon starts at Nogiwa Park and finishes at Aoi-umi Park after passing central streets and the Aomori Bay Bridge. The point-to-point format requires attention to start transport.

Race-day weather

April in northern Honshu is cool and can be breezy near the bay. Rain is possible, while blossoms depend on the year's spring temperatures.
