About the Nagoya Women's Marathon

The Nagoya Women's Marathon is one of the world's signature women-only marathons. It combines a deep Japanese road-racing field with mass-participation entry paths, a dome-based race hub, and a seven-hour time limit that keeps the event accessible beyond the elite race.

Course

The marathon starts and finishes at Vantelin Dome Nagoya on a JAAF and WA/AIMS certified course. The route is an urban road marathon through Nagoya, with the dome finish and posted course-closure points giving the race a clear pacing framework.

Mid-March in Nagoya is often good marathon weather, but spring can swing between cool rain, wind, and bright sun. The seven-hour limit helps a wide range of runners, but pacing still needs to account for changing conditions across the city.
