R U N N I NMarathons in Asia: upcoming races
136 upcoming marathons across Asia, sorted by date and updated weekly - home of the Tokyo Marathon and the fastest-growing running scene in the world.
Tokyo and the giants
The Tokyo Marathon is Asia's World Marathon Major - meticulous organisation, enormous crowds and an entry lottery among the toughest anywhere. Around it, races in Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Bangkok and Mumbai have grown into six-figure-applicant events of their own.
Racing in Asian conditions
Climate shapes the calendar: Southeast Asian races start before dawn to beat the heat, Japanese and Korean marathons cluster in the cool months, and the Indian season runs through winter. Expect early alarm clocks - and some of the most enthusiastic spectator cultures in world running.
