Historia & Legender

The Early Years

2002

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.

The Course Record

2019

The fastest time ever recorded at the Mt. Fuji Marathon is 02:12:47, set by Hiroyuki Horikoshi in 2019. Every year, new contenders line up hoping to challenge that mark on the streets of Kawaguchiko.

The Hills That Break You

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.

The Lottery

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.
