Tokyo runs on March 7, 2027, from the Metropolitan Government Building to the Tokyo Station area. General entry closed August 28; check your My Entry result before booking. International entry is $230, with baggage check costing another $12. The city rewards a longer stay, but the race-day split between start and finish means your hotel and reunion plan should solve two different journeys.

Major race decision brief
Know the catch before you book the flight.
Four facts shape this weekend: entry, course load, the start-to-finish problem, and whether your crew gets a good trip too.
01 · Secure the bib
Closed · Lottery
International entry $230 including handling and tax; baggage check adds $12. General entry closed August 28, 2026. Check your My Entry status; later member draws depend on remaining places. Treat travel as refundable until your place and any qualification requirement are confirmed.
02 · Read the load
60 m climbing
Flat and fast, with a net-downhill first half from Shinjuku and the only real bumps coming on the bridges near the bay. The finish sits by Tokyo Station, and the crowds are deep the whole way.
03 · Solve the base
Point-to-point logistics
Start and finish sit roughly 7 km apart as the crow flies. Choose a base around the official transport plan or finish—not from a map pin that only looks close to the start.
04 · Pack the range
4–12°C
Historical rain signal: 25%. Use reviewed climate data for packing, then switch to the live forecast inside race week.
Crew fit is 5/5. Use the spectator guide to decide whether this is a shared city weekend or a runner-first operation.
