The Early Years
2002Established in 2002, the Mt. Fuji Marathon is now 24 years old. From its first edition in Kawaguchiko, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Japan.
A stunning loop course around Lake Kawaguchi with Japan's most iconic mountain, Mt. Fuji, serving as a dramatic backdrop throughout the race. The course features gentle rolling hills in the early stages, with a steady climb from approximately the 20km mark through forested areas, offering spectacular views of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding Japanese Alps. Runners descend through picturesque villages in the latter half before returning to the lakeside finish.

The Race

Kawaguchiko
Established in 2002, the Mt. Fuji Marathon is now 24 years old. From its first edition in Kawaguchiko, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Japan.
With 1150m of elevation gain, the Mt. Fuji Marathon is not a course for the faint-hearted. The climbs are where races are won and lost — where the gap between training and undertrained reveals itself without mercy. Locals say the course doesn't beat you; it just waits for you to beat yourself.
Getting into the Mt. Fuji Marathon is a race before the race. The entry lottery draws far more applicants than available spots, and the notification email — accepted or rejected — has become an annual ritual that defines the running calendars of thousands.
