#MyTokyoMarathon 〜東京マラソンへの素敵なストーリーや
コメントをご紹介〜

Unforgettable experience 🤗 best day of my whole life

Tokyo Marathon was a dream that came true. Tokyo is special in all aspects, I love the culture, I love the country, I love the organization, I love the race. I love Tokyo, and I would love to have an opportunity to run Tokyo 2025 once again.

I dream of running the Tokyo Marathon 2025.
It would be my 5th World Marathon Major.
Running has helped me through many hard times. Each race proves that I am stronger than my struggles.
But Tokyo is more than just a race for me. It’s a symbol of hope, healing, and never giving up.
On that day, my son will turn 15, and he will be there with me. Together, we will celebrate life, strength, and this incredible journey.
To achieve this goal, I will have two angels in heaven guiding me and waiting for me at the finish line.
Please help us make this dream come true.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️

#mytokyomarathon 22年前日本語が習って、来日して、日本に他のマラソンのためにトレーニングしたんですが、東京マラソンを走るのは夢です。日本国、日本語、日本文化、日本人大好きですので、毎年日本に行きたいです。来年夢を叶えるのを願っています。

Um sonho 😍que gostaria de realisar se posivel antes de eu Oberter os meus 60 anos ❤️

Was amazing to run the Tokyo Marathon last March! All that I can say is I had many remarkable memories 🙌 thank you 🇯🇵❤️

I wanna experience this amazing city and run one of the most iconic marathons in the world and it would be my fourth star on my six star journey ,this is why it’s so special to me!

Meet a City, while you ae running is magic, but Meet Tokyo would be the best dream comes true, I hope reach it on 2025🏃🏽‍♀️🌎

I love Japan. Been going back since early 2000's for work. The culture, the places and most especially the people are amazing and it will be great to be able to explore Tokyo on foot and celebrate running with the whole community and its guests😊

Running the marathon would be amazing! I’m Métis, an Indigenous runner, it would be fantastic to encourage other women to run and show up on an International stage, celebrating our culture and learning about Japanese culture. My sister in law is from Japan, but they live in Toronto and I’m in Vancouver 😕

Tokyo Marathon is part of my journey for World Marathon Majors. My dream is to run marathons in every continent and take part in all biggest running events, o wish to have a opportunity to run in amazing place like Tokyo and learn the cultu

Such an inspiring and unforgettable experience! I long to be back! So special and unique❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It means running the last pending major 😍

I’m so excited to run this race to explore this great city. This will be one of the stars that I need to complete my six star challenge. I also have the great opportunity to run for a fabulous organization and charity. This race means a lot to me because it shows me what my body can do!

Tokyo Marathon był moim spełnieniem marzeń, ale rok 2020 😢 pokrzyżowała mi pandemia. Od tego czasu próbuje się dostać tam 🏃😉 Mam nadzieję że rok 2025 w końcu spełnię to marzenie. 🏃No i oczywiście 3 🌟 Jestem bardzo ciekawy tego kraju. 😜

The Tokyo Marathon was my dream come true, but in 2020 😢, the pandemic disrupted my plans. Since then, I've been trying to get there 🏃😉. I hope that in 2025, I will finally fulfill this dream 🏃, and of course, get my third 🌟. I am really curious about this country 😜.

Running the Tokyo marathon as an Indigenous woman, coach, and athlete will increase representation so that other women like me can see themselves in a better position. It will encourage them to step outside their own comfort zones.

See you on March 2nd 2025 and afterwards a journey throughout Japan. In addition, its the sixth and final race for the Global Majors, too. 🤟🏻👍🏼🏃‍♂️

Running the Tokyo Marathon will be so meaningful for me because I'm selected as Charity Runner for @npo_kidsdoor and I'll meet my long-time friends from Japan since 18 years ago! 🌞🏃🏻

When you make that left turn on to Marunouchi Naka-Dori Ave 🤌🏽✨

❤️ 🇯🇵 🇸🇬 ❤️ As an Asian, I aspire to run the Tokyo Marathon, one of the six major marathons in the world. The Japanese people have always been warm and welcoming, and I’ve heard so much about this iconic event. The only thing left now is to participate in it. I cherish many fond memories from my time in Japan. #tokyomarathon #mytokyomarathon

Tokyo Marathon is part of my 100 worldwide marathon challenge to help support WaterAid providing clean drinking water to those less fortunate.

I love the Japanese culture, and the food so I can’t wait to come back once more Tokyo.

問いかけていただいて、感謝します。そう、一昨年の東京マラソンの直前に逝ってしまったラン友。てっきり走ってると思って応援メッセージ送り続けた。桜の下で走った神田川。彼が走ろうとしていた道を走りたいと思い、ダメ元の東京マラソンエントリ始めました。

As a third and fourth generation Japanese American, I would love to run in the country my family came from! What’s also special is the addition of a non-binary category, and I would be so honored to run in the inaugural race for us folks!

Pudo haber sido mi post el año pasado … mi historia en tus letras … la corrí el año pasado … mucha suerte! 🫶

Saya ingin membuktikan bahwa dengan finish Tokyo Marathon 2025 dapat menunjukan dan memberi contoh bahwa prestasi bisa didapat dengan berlari. Berlari yang harus diselesaikan dengan berlatih dan perjuangan. Semoga Tokyo Marathon 2025 bisa mewujudkan cita-cita saya ini #HastagCampaign #MyTokyoMarathon @tokyomarathonfoundation

I just wish to run in Japan having in mind that this is the other planet.. you are not from this world.. and I wish I could join the club 😁😁🙈🙏🙏

One of the best and most emotional marathons I've run.

I want to run Tokyo ‘25 so I can complete my Majors and get my 6 Star Finisher’s Medal ! Really hoping I get a chance to run the race and visit Japan and experience its culture. Good luck to everyone who has entered 😊🤞🏼

What I like about Tokyo, even though it makes it harder for me to get a place, is the fact that residents of Tokyo get priority. I wish they did this in London, where I live. It sucks not being able to ever get a place in the ballot and not run your home city marathon

Tokyo has been and always will be the favourite holiday destination for my husband and I. It holds a very special place in our hearts. One day he suggested, "You enjoy running so much, why don't you join Tokyo Marathon?" I took his suggestion and applied the very next year. I was so surprised and overjoyed that I got the ballot on my very first try. The race was much more exciting and fun than I had expected. Being able to run thru the amazing city of Tokyo, all those familiar sights and the cheering crowd and kids, it was amazing! The crew and Voluntainers were so friendly, it felt very special and I want to experience it all over again!

To get my six star

L.O.V.E

Fuldilling dreams is a long distancie race, you can!!!
