26th Kobe 24-Hour Relay Marathon (第26回 24時間リレーマラソン神戸大会)

Experience the thrill of running and camaraderie as you connect with your team members over a 24-hour race scheduled for September 21-22, 2026. The registration period is expected to open around April 30th.
Organizers are currently reviewing last year's feedback and considering changes to the course layout to enhance fairness and ease of management by officials. One proposed change includes having runners write their names on number cards, which would mean team member substitutions could only be made up to two weeks before race day.
The event aims to foster a spirit of fair competition while providing an enjoyable environment for all participants. Traditionally, the organizers have offered complimentary late-night snacks and breakfast options during the 24-hour run. This year, runners will have the option to choose whether they want these meals included in their participation fee, with those opting out seeing a reduction of ¥1,000.
The available meal choices include sushi rolls or curry for the night snack, followed by rice balls and bread for breakfast. However, it's important to note that local convenience stores within walking distance may experience shortages during race hours due to high demand from participants.
For runners without support teams on-site, organizers recommend selecting the option with meals included to ensure you have access to food throughout the event.
Join us in celebrating a day of spirited competition and shared joy as part of this unique running community.
