About the Wakkanai Peace Marathon
Wakkanai Peace Marathon turns Japan's northern edge into a full-distance journey rather than a city loop. The Cape Soya start and port finish give the event a clear sense of direction and a distinctly northern Hokkaido identity.
Course
Cape Soya marks the start of a 42.195K point-to-point road run to Wakkanai Port. A 6.5-hour limit makes the race accessible, but long exposed coastal sections can leave runners working against wind for extended stretches.
Race-day weather
Early September in far northern Hokkaido is usually cooler than most of Japan, but coastal wind and rain can change the feel quickly. Layers that handle a damp start without overheating are useful.
