The Tokyo Marathon is an annual marathon in Tokyo, Japan, and one of the World Marathon Majors. The first edition under this name was held on 18 February 2007. Before that, the city held two separate races in alternating years, the Tokyo International Marathon on even years and the Tokyo-New York Friendship International Marathon on odd years. The 2007 race also served as a selection race for the World Championships in Athletics in Osaka and set a field of 30,000 runners. The event is a World Athletics Platinum Label marathon, and it draws an unusually large number of applicants, with over 330,000 applications for the 2019 edition. Its field is older than at other Majors, and in 2024 close to half of the finishers were aged 50 or over.
