Solo entrants and teams of two to six runners, middle school age and above, share a 714m loop for 60 minutes and are ranked by the number of laps completed. Every member can run as many laps as the team likes, walk parts of the course, or take turns in any order. Where teams complete the same number of laps, the team that started its final lap earlier is placed higher.

Entry runs from 00:00 on 1 October 2026 to 23:59 on 16 November 2026. Entry closes early if the field fills before the deadline.
For the family run and the relay marathon you provide a team name plus each member's name, kana reading, gender, age group, whether they live inside or outside Ota Ward, T-shirt size (110, 130, 150, S, M, L or XL) and whether a guide runner is needed. Each representative can enter only one team.
Every entrant receives an event original T-shirt and other gifts, and half marathon participants also receive an original event towel. Baggage storage and the shuttle bus are free. A separate entry handling fee is charged on top of the participation fee.
Reception opens at 8:30, the opening ceremony is at 9:30 and the first race starts at 10:00, so arriving before 9:00 gives plenty of time to collect your number and leave your bag.
There are many free sub-events, kitchen cars and a shop, plus guest appearances by Sakura Inoue, Eric Wainaina and Ganbare Yusuke, so the venue stays lively all day.
