Other questions
No. Registration closes as soon as the field reaches capacity, even if that happens before the published entry deadline.
No. There is no athlete check-in, as athlete bibs and participant information are posted out in advance. Participation-award collection runs from 13:00 to 17:00 the day before the race and from 7:00 until the end of the event on race day.
It is open only to residents of Fukuchiyama City, and only for the individual full marathon. Partner entries and Yuzureru transfers through this category are also limited to city residents. During entry you can choose whether to take the participation award, and declining it reduces the entry fee by 1,000 yen. City residents may also enter through the general category.
It is for students aged 18 to 25, excluding high school students, and only for the individual full marathon. A student ID must be uploaded by 22 September through the upload button under your name on the RUNNET My Page entry history.
The representative applicant can submit several teams, but duplicate applications should be avoided. The partner/family entry system cannot be used. You will be asked for your partner's name, phonetic reading, gender, date of birth, age, parking pass, club or affiliation, whether they want the original bib fastener, holder and personal cup, whether they want a nickname athlete bib, the number of previous appearances, whether they are acting as a medical runner, and their full marathon finishes in the last three years with best time and race name if applicable.
