39th Suwako Marathon

Bib, the timing chip and race information are sent together in early October;

there is no race-day registration.

Runners are assigned to blocks by self-reported expected finish time and start simultaneously.

Anyone who leaves the expected-time field blank or submits an unrealistic time starts from the final block.

Aid station will be installed at 6–7 locations on course.

If you miss the cut-off times at the five cut-off point, you must surrender your bib and,

following an official’s instructions, board the collection minibus or walk back to the finish along the pavement.

Bags may be checked only in the designated bag provided with the pre-race mailing;

other bags will not be accepted.

Runners are asked to keep changing-room use brief, and eating inside is prohibited.

Parking is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis during entry.

This year, the number of spaces is significantly lower than last year because the venue has changed.

Those who miss out on allocated parking are directed to city centre pay-and-display car parks and the paid parking-reservation site akippa.

The organisers recommend car-sharing or public transport.

Finisher certificate will be issued online to all finishers.
