The road to your own record
Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.

The city you want to run becomes your next trip.



THE DREAM
This is the 34th Fukuchiyama Marathon.
For the first time, the date has been moved, and it will be held on Sunday, November 22, the middle day of a three-day holiday weekend.
Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.
Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.
Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.
From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.
“Somehow, I managed to run up the final 500 m or so.”
At the 2024 Fukuchiyama full marathon, the runner's pace increased on the early downhill section, and they started walking in the second half because of leg cramps and stomach pain. Even in the rain and cold wind, they ran up the final climb and made it over the finish line. Their net time was 4:43:17, and they finished.

なんとか最後500mほどは走って上りました。
Read the original on 走ったり登ったり歩いたり@urashima_san’s diary“I looked up and saw a rainbow in the sky.”
The runner ran in a clown costume, cheering on other participants along the way. They pushed through rain and wind in the second half and the final climb to finish within the time limit.
Quoted from the original · translated
空を見ると虹が出てました。
Read the original on たつみマラソン研究所“My time, as shown on the Runners Update, also dropped over the final 10 km.”
The runner entered the 24th Fukuchiyama full marathon at short notice and finished in 3 hours 36 minutes 10 seconds. They experienced the narrow gym baggage storage area, several rolling sections, and a steep final 1km. They also slowed down in the second half, but overtook runners who had slowed more.

The 34th Fukuchiyama Marathon starts at 10 a.m. on November 22, 2026.
It is a 42.195km course that starts on the road west of the Sandanchi Fuso Chemical Industry Arena,
turns at Nikashita, Oe-cho, Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture, and returns to the start.
Full marathon and the pair relay use a course certified by the Japan Association of Athletics Federations,
and the 10km also runs on a separately certified course.
Full marathon has a cap of 6,000 runners and time limit is 6 hours.
There are 10 cut-off point in total from 3.2km to 37.7km, so you need to manage not only the 16:00 finish but also your intermediate split times.
The 25.0km cut-off point closes at 13:35, so pace before and after the turnaround section is important.
The race includes a marathon division for visually impaired runners and the pair relay,
and Yuma Morii's three consecutive wins from 2023 to 2025 also reflect its competitive character.
Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
General-entry participants will have their bibs mailed in advance; only those who enter shortly before the race will collect theirs at the venue.
You cannot start without your bib and timing chip on race day.
JR福知山駅 北口 (JR Fukuchiyama Station, North Exit)
Free organizer shuttle buses run from Fukuchiyama Station North Exit to the venue: day before the race 13:00-16:30, and race-day morning 6:50-9:00, running continuously,
~15 minutes each way.
Confirmed via official 34th edition (2026) pages
JR福知山駅 (same, return shuttle)
Return shuttle buses run from the venue back to JR Fukuchiyama Station roughly 11:00-17:30 on race day.
Confirmed free organizer shuttle bus both directions, directly tied to JR Fukuchiyama Station.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
As the race starts at 10:00 am on 22 November, choose your race-day clothing with the start time and 6-hour limit in mind.
The full marathon cut-offs are 10:35 am at the 3.2 km cut-off point, 12:35 pm at 18.1 km, 2:00 pm at 28.3 km and 3:20 pm at 37.7 km.
Start with a pace that allows you to pass these points on time, rather than focusing only on your target finish time.
Participant prize pickup is available from 13:00 to 17:00 on the day before the race and from 7:00 am until the end of the event on race day.
Decide in advance whether to collect it the day before or on race morning.
The start is on the west road beside Sandanchi Fusso Chemical Industry Arena, so calculate travel time to the start first when booking accommodation.
Runners living overseas can apply through the English-language Run Japan Entry service;
there is no last-minute entry this year.
Times are local to Fukuchiyama. Check the latest official information before the race.
