About the Tokushima Marathon

Tokushima's major spring road race carries a large field along one of Shikoku's defining rivers. Local support and generous course service extend beyond the city.

Course

The out-and-back route starts in Tokushima and spends long sections beside the Yoshino River. Minimal climbing favors rhythm, but exposed levees amplify wind.

Race-day weather

March is often cool, though rain and strong river wind are common risks. The return leg may feel substantially harder if wind direction is unfavorable.
