6th Fuchu Machinaka Online Marathon Hiroshima Japan 2026

Fuchu Machinaka's online marathon is the remote-running component of the sixth Fuchu city sports festival in Hiroshima Prefecture. Participants choose their own routes instead of attending the relay, family run or walking event in the city centre. This listing covers the online entry only, not admission to those separately entered physical events.

Complete your target across fifteen days

The published activity window runs from midnight on 15 November to 23:59 on 29 November 2026, Japan time. Build your selected distance over several sessions or complete it in one run. The half-marathon and marathon targets are exactly 21.0975 km and 42.195 km; the longer options are also cumulative challenges, not a requirement to run a continuous ultra.

Use a smartphone GPS-running app such as TATTA or Strava. The organiser allows participants to choose the number of outings, routes and starting times. This is a self-paced completion challenge, not a competition for the fastest time. A separate evidence-upload method and submission grace period were not specified in the reviewed instructions. Confirm those arrangements before recording the challenge, and keep the original activity records.

Select the correct entry

The standard, Fuchu-support and SPINGLE choices are packages for the same online event, not three additional races. The seven distance cards show the standard package; the other package choices are described in What's Included. Choose the distance and package carefully because the published terms do not permit changes or participant-requested cancellation after applying.

Eligibility checks before payment

The event advertises participation from anywhere in Japan. Overseas entry, delivery coverage and final handling charges have not been confirmed, so international runners should ask the event office before paying.

There is an age-rule inconsistency: e-moshicom's structured field says 18-85 years, while the official online-event terms provide for minors with guardian consent. Confirm the applicable rule rather than assuming that the shorter distances are open to children. Likewise, the detailed programme's 200-person capacity takes precedence over the registration site's generic '500 or more' size label, but remaining places have not been tested.

Use safe routes, obey local traffic and park rules, and wear reflective equipment or a headlamp when running after dark. No physical-race course support, aid stations or shared start line are included.
