The Nikko City Marathon offers runners of all levels an engaging and community-focused race experience. Participants can enjoy the unique opportunity to run on usually busy 4-lane city roads, which are closed off for this special day. The route features warm encouragement from spectators along its entire length, making it a heartwarming event. This year marks the addition of a new category for participants aged 70 and above, welcoming more seasoned runners to join in the fun. Ideal for those looking to kick-start their running routine early in the New Year, this race is also family-friendly with options suitable for parents and children alike. After crossing the finish line, don't miss out on trying the delicious tonjiru (miso soup with pork), a traditional Japanese comfort food that will warm you up perfectly. Entry fees vary by category: 4500 yen for adults in the 10km race, 3800 yen for the 5km distance, and just 1000 yen each for both the 3km and 2km events. Reduced rates apply to high school students (2000 yen) and wheelchair participants (3500 yen). For those simply looking to jog or walk without competing, fees are more affordable at 500 yen and 300 yen respectively. Children living in the city or attending local schools can participate for free when they register through Mosikomu. Join us on January 11, 2027, for a memorable day of running and community spirit!
