The marathon course at TOKYO MARATHON 2025 symbolises the past, present and the future of Tokyo. The race starts in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and ends at the Tokyo Station. The city race covers the different districts of Tokyo – Shinjuku, Suidobashi, Kanda, Nihombashi, Asakusa Kaminarimon Gatena, Ryogoku, Monzen-nakacho, Ginza, Tamachi, Hibiya and Tokyo Station/Gyoko-dori Ave. We will catch a glimpse of the Tokyo Tower, see the packed crowd of supporters in front of Tokyo’s oldest temple, Senso-ji, in Asakusa, and feel the positive energy of the volunteers & supporters throughout the whole marathon route. This race course is generally flat and fast, and the marathon will finish next to the Imperial Palace. At the 2024 race, the winner of the Men's race, Benson Kipult from Kenya set the course record with a time of 2:02.16. 

It is indeed the biggest race in Asia, one of the best-organized events in the world, and worthy of its status as one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. It will be held on Sunday 2nd March 2025.
