About the Event

Established in 2016, the Kawanuchi Green Frog Marathon is an annual race born from the initiative of local elementary school students. This year marks its eleventh edition as the event continues to grow and evolve, aiming to become a gathering that runners will want to return to time after time.
The course takes participants through the scenic beauty of Kawanuchi Plateau, with golden rice paddies swaying in the breeze and majestic mountain ranges stretching out into the distance. As you run alongside this breathtaking landscape, you'll feel the unique charm of rural Japan while enjoying a race that celebrates both nature and community spirit.
This year's event will feature several different categories to cater to runners of all ages and abilities: a half marathon for seasoned athletes looking to push their limits; 10km and 5km races designed specifically for high school students and above, offering an opportunity to challenge oneself in the serene countryside setting. There are also options tailored for younger participants, such as a 3km race for middle schoolers and a fun-filled 1.5km run for elementary-aged children.
To ensure smooth operations this year, all categories will see a slight increase of ¥1000 from previous years' registration fees. For those interested in bringing the whole family along, there are special rates available for groups of two or more participants. The event organizers have also made an effort to make it accessible and affordable for local residents.
While the scale is slightly reduced due to recent changes at the venue, this year's Kawanuchi Green Frog Marathon promises a memorable experience that combines physical challenge with cultural immersion in one of Japan’s most picturesque settings.
Join us as we celebrate another chapter in this beloved community event – where runners and nature come together for an unforgettable day on the Kawanuchi Plateau.
