Ecomarathon Nikotama

Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Setagaya Prefecture on January 24, 2027, as you lace up your running shoes for the Nikotama Ecomarathon. Starting at Tamagawa Futako Bridge Park by the Tama River, runners will choose between a half-marathon and a 10-kilometer course, both in loop format. The race route winds through lush greenery, offering picturesque views of lakes and ponds along the way.
With only 300 participants, you'll enjoy an intimate atmosphere that fosters camaraderie among fellow runners. Families can also participate in a separate 5-kilometer parent-child event. After crossing the finish line, take time to explore Nikotama's unique blend of modernity and natural beauty. Located just twenty minutes from Shibuya, this charming city offers easy access to parks and quiet picnic spots.
The Ecomarathon is not only about athletic achievement but also environmental commitment. This year, runners have the opportunity to support Second Harvest Japan, a pioneering food bank ensuring everyone has access to nutritious meals. Additionally, proceeds will benefit Refugee Empowerment International and Peace Run, furthering their impactful work.
For those interested in cultural immersion, visit Tamagawa-daishi temple with its stunning collection of over one hundred Buddha statues below ground level. Tokyo's vibrant urban life is just a short trip away, offering endless opportunities to explore traditional culture, fashion, cuisine, and more.
Join the Nikotama Ecomarathon for an unforgettable blend of sport, nature, and cultural discovery in Japan’s heartland.
