This race starts and finishes at Mie Prefectural Sun Arena.

Half marathon (21.0975 km) follows a Japan Association of Athletics Federations-certified course,

starts at 9:00 a.m., and has a time limit of 2 hours 40 minutes.

Oharai-machi, in front of Uji Bridge, Dime Stadium Ise (ダイムスタジアム伊勢, Mizuki Noguchi Gold Medal Road),

The 5 km starts at 9:10 a.m. with a time limit of 50 minutes, following a Sun Arena–Asama IC (朝熊IC)–Futami JCT turnaround–Asama-Higashi IC–Sun Arena course.

The Ise-Futami-Toba Line (伊勢二見鳥羽ライン, from Ise IC to just before Futami JCT),

used for part of both the half marathon and 5 km course, is a motorway, so advance course inspection is discouraged.

runners must board a sweeper vehicle as directed by race officials.
