About the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon

Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon gives runners a high-profile autumn half on roads linked to the Tokyo Marathon Foundation. The race has a performance edge, a formal entry process, and a stricter cutoff than many city halves.

Course

The 21.0975 km course starts at MUFG Stadium and finishes at Japan National Stadium, using central Tokyo roads through districts such as Suidobashi, Jimbocho, Kanda, and Nihonbashi. The certified route rewards efficient pacing and careful pack management.

Race-day weather

Mid-October in Tokyo is usually milder than summer but can still feel humid. Runners should prepare for comfortable starting temperatures, possible rain, and late-race warmth if the sun breaks through.
