“One of the best things about running a marathon is the support from people along the route.”

In the runner's first marathon, the aid stations and cheering kept the runner going. Leg pain became severe after 30 km, but the support on the final climb helped the runner finish in 5 hours 3 minutes.

“I achieved both my goals: finishing and breaking four hours.”

After eight months of preparation, Shiba attempted a first full marathon at the Nagoya Adventure Marathon. A faster-than-planned start brought heavy fatigue after 30km, but encouragement helped Shiba finish in 3 hours 57 minutes.

More details

Getting to the start

Shonai Ryokuchi Koen Station (Nagoya Municipal Subway Tsurumai Line)

The start and finish are at the Shonai Ryokuchi Park multipurpose plaza in Nishi Ward, Nagoya. Shonai Ryokuchi Koen Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway Tsurumai Line is directly beside the venue at Exit 2. Kamiotai Station (Meitetsu/Subway) is also about a 13-minute walk away.

Based on information from previous editions (the 18th and 19th); the official site did not have a confirmed dedicated access page, but the venue and nearest station are well documented. It is just south of Exit 2 of Shonai Ryokuchi Koen Station on the Nagoya Subway Tsurumai Line.

The parking lot is very crowded and it may take more than 2 hours to leave, so public transportation is recommended.

Same venue as start (loop course), so finish uses same subway access.

Start shuttle

No organizer shuttle bus was found during research; the venue is directly accessible by subway, so one does not appear necessary.
