Minato City 80th Anniversary MINATO City Half Marathon 2026

Athlete bibs, timing chips, and the official race program will be mailed to the registered address in early November.

Bib distribution and registration will not be available at the venue on race day,

so participants must arrive at the designated location by the specified time wearing their bib and timing chip.

If a participant forgets their bib or timing chip, it can be reissued for a fee at the information desk.

Timing chips must be returned to the collection boxes at the finish.

Changing rooms for men and women and a baggage check area will be available at the venue, but valuables cannot be checked.

Attach the number sticker mailed with your bib to your baggage and leave it at the designated location.

At aid station, sports drinks and water will be provided, and some aid station will also have sponges.

Portable toilets will be installed at the start and finish areas, as well as inside course (excluding Fun Run).

The participant gift is a shirt, and finishers will also receive a finisher towel.

Finisher certificate will be available on the event-day web finisher certificate after finishing,

allowing participants to view it on their own smartphone or PC.

Finishers within time limit can download an finisher certificate showing their finish time and splits at every 5 km.

There is no parking or bicycle parking, so participants and spectators cannot arrive by car, motorcycle, or bicycle.

The venue is a 10-minute walk from the north exit of Hamamatsucho Station on the JR lines and Tokyo Monorail;

a 3-minute walk from Exit A1 of Onarimon Station and Exit A4 of Shibakoen Station on the Toei Mita Line;

and a 7-minute walk from the Akabanebashi Exit of Akabanebashi Station on the Oedo Line.

Extensive vehicle traffic restrictions and pedestrian crossing restrictions will be in place near the start and around course on race day,
