A big feature of this race is that there is no day-before pickup.
Your bib and participation prize arrive by mail in advance, so on race morning you can go straight to the start.
The 30 km start is about a 10-minute walk from Takaishi Station on the Nankai Line,
and the half marathon start is about a 10-minute walk from Takojizo Station or Kishiwada Station on the same Nankai Line.
You cannot come by car, since there is no parking at either the start or the finish.
The finish is a 3-minute walk from Nankai Line or JR Rinku Town Station, so getting away after the race is easy.
Each person may leave one bag, within 65×50 cm, at the designated spot at the start, and it is transported to the finish venue.
All times are gun time, so if you trust net time and cross the start line late, you lose out.
The 30 km starts at 9:00 and the half marathon at 10:00, and the cut-off point closes at 9:40 at the first 5.1 km mark,
which is very tight, so line up near the start line.
The time limit is 4 hours for the 30 km and 3 hours for the half marathon.
It is a seaside course in mid-February, so the wind is cold.
A 2025 report mentioned being grateful for gloves in the strong wind and cold.
For accommodation, Rinku Town, with easy access to Kansai Airport, or places along the Nankai Line are convenient.
Drones and costumes are prohibited.
Some runners say there is not much food at the aid station, so bring any gels you need to be safe.
After you apply, changing events, cancelling and transferring your entry are not allowed for personal reasons, so confirm your schedule before applying.
If you cannot arrive before the cut-off point time or are unlikely to reach the next cut-off point,
the organizers may order you to stop racing, and treatment other than first aid is covered only within the event insurance.
If you apply from overseas, also remember that you must follow the instructions of race staff.
