Yokohama Marathon

The Yokohama Marathon 2026 invites runners to experience one of Japan’s most scenic city races on Sunday, October 25, 2026. With the theme “RUN IN YOKOHAMA, CHANGE YOUR WORLD,” the event brings together runners, supporters, families, and visitors for an unforgettable day of sport and celebration.

The signature Full Marathon covers 42.195 km, beginning in front of Yokohama Landmark Tower and taking participants through some of the city’s most recognizable waterfront areas. Along the route, runners can enjoy views of attractions including the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, Yokohama’s historic Three Towers, Marine Tower, and Yamashita Park.

One of the event’s most distinctive experiences comes in the second half of the marathon, when runners take on the Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route, offering a rare opportunity to experience Yokohama from a normally vehicle-focused roadway. The race finishes at Pacifico Yokohama Rinko Park, with views toward Yokohama Bay Bridge and enthusiastic support from spectators along the course.

The 2026 event offers more than just the full marathon. Participants can choose from the Pair Relay, Bayshore Highway Run of approximately 20.3 km, Minato Mirai 7 km Run, and Enjoy Run, which includes categories for wheelchair participants, families, and junior high school students.

Whether you are an experienced marathoner aiming for a personal achievement, a recreational runner looking for a unique challenge, or a supporter wanting to enjoy the energy of a major city race, Yokohama Marathon 2026 offers an exciting combination of running, sightseeing, community spirit, and unforgettable waterfront scenery.
