Shimonoseki Kaikyo Marathon 2026

There is no race-day runner check-in.

Your bib and timing chip will be mailed in early October.

If a package is returned because the address is unknown or the recipient is absent, it will not be re-sent;

it can instead be collected after identity verification at the general information desk at the venue on October 31, the day before the race,

or November 1, race day.

The course has 16 aid station locations, and several food stations are planned.

Special drinks cannot be set up, and eating outside the designated hydration and aid stations is prohibited.

Toilets will be available at each aid station and cut-off point, at the relief stations, and at the start and finish.

Runners providing pace guidance are planned for finish times of 3 hours, 3 hours 15 minutes and 3 hours 30 minutes, then at 30-minute intervals.

Changing rooms are planned for each corral.

Valuables other than cash can be checked, but runners are responsible for leaving all other belongings in the changing rooms.

Bags for storing valuables will be sent with the bib.

There is no event parking around the venue, so public transport is recommended.

Temporary JR services are planned for race day.

The participation gift is a marathon T-shirt, while finishers receive a finisher medal and a finisher's towel.

Runners who recorded 3:15 or faster for men and 3:45 or faster for women in a full marathon since January 1, 2024, can start preferentially in Block S by following the required procedure and submitting a copy of their finisher certificate.

Your finisher certificate can be issued online on race day.
