Event Detail
The 40th Narita POP Run takes place on 15 November 2026 at Jubei Sports Field Nakadai in Chiba, Japan. The event combines a competitive 10 km road race with 3 km races for different age groups. Both routes pass through Narita New Town, where autumn foliage provides a colourful setting.
The stadium opens at 7:30 am. The 3 km start waves are at 9:30 am and 9:35 am, followed by the 10 km at 9:50 am, all Japan Standard Time. The 10 km has an 80-minute completion limit. Timing chips are supplied and finishers can access an online results certificate.
The 10 km course has planned drink stations near 2.5 km and 7.5 km. Bag storage and toilets are available at the stadium. Organisers will post bibs and timing chips to registered runners before the event. The venue is around a ten-minute walk from JR Narita Station, and runners are asked to use public transport because there is no participant parking.
The entry period closed on 11 September 2026. Consult the event website for any late operational changes.
