Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon

The Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon takes runners through central districts of Japan’s capital on a loop course that begins and ends at the Japan National Stadium. The race starts at Japan National Stadium in Kasumigaoka, Shinjuku, before heading east through central Tokyo along wide urban boulevards. The race finishes back at Japan National Stadium, creating a start-and-finish experience inside one of Tokyo’s most important sporting venues. The course follows wide city streets with long straight sections, allowing runners to maintain a steady rhythm through much of the race. The terrain is largely flat with only gentle elevation changes typical of central Tokyo, making the route suitable for consistent pacing. The combination of modern boulevards, historic districts, and a stadium finish gives the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon a distinctive urban character in the heart of the Japanese capital.
