The TOKYO MARATHON 2026 will commence at 9.10am.
Cut-Off Times
There is a 7 hour cut-off for the TOKYO MARATHON 2026.

- You must enter the TOKYO MARATHON EXPO 2026 to collect your race pack 30min before the closing time for both Packet Pick-up and the expo.
- The registered runner must conduct Packet Pick-up in person.

Pace Setters
Pace setters for 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes will run based on the gross time, (from the start gun until when the pace-setters finish the race).
Pace setters for 3 hours 40 minutes to 5 hours 30 minutes run based on the net time from crossing the start line to the finish. This is merely a guideline and does not guarantee finishing at the exact target time.
Sweepers run at a pace that allows them to pass each checkpoint just within the cut off time, supporting as many runners as possible to finish at the first aid station.
Note that it is the responsibility of the runner and not the pace setter to ensure that all cut off times are met.
