Tokyo Marathon to be postponed to October 17th next year, October 9th, 18:31 without scale reduction
The Tokyo Marathon, which is held in March every year, has been postponed to October 17, next year, although the scale will not be reduced, as it is uncertain whether the infection with the new coronavirus will be resolved next year.
The Tokyo Marathon is held every March on a course in the city center with the participation of invited athletes and general runners.
The Tokyo Marathon Foundation held an informal board meeting on the 9th to discuss when the next year's marathon will be held.
As a result, we decided to postpone the tournament scheduled for March 7th next year to October 17th because we cannot predict whether the infection will be resolved or what the immigration restrictions related to invited athletes will be. It was.
This year's Tokyo Marathon was held only for invited athletes, but it means that the scale will not be reduced next year.
General runners who couldn't participate in this year's tournament will be asked to choose whether to participate in the tournament next year or next year in January next year.
After that, in March next year, we will announce the guidelines of the tournament and invite general runners to participate.
Next year's tournament Scheduled to be held on March 6th next year without changing the time
On the other hand, the next year's tournament will be held on March 6th next year at the same time.
The Tokyo Marathon Foundation says, "Because everyone is looking forward to the event, we have decided to postpone the event as a result of putting the event on a regular scale first."
