The Race

Osaka
Established in 2007, the Osaka Marathon is now 19 years old. From its first edition in Osaka, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Japan.
Runners come to the Osaka Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Osaka has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.
Getting into the Osaka 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.
With 28,000 finishers and spectators lining the course deep, the Osaka Marathon generates an atmosphere that carries runners through the hard miles. The crowd support in Osaka is not polite applause — it's visceral, personal, and often the difference between hitting the wall and breaking through it.
