Event Detail
Tokyo Marathon 2027 RUNS: INTO KK brings running to the former KK Line expressway in Tokyo's Ginza district, just ahead of the main Tokyo Marathon. The Tokyo Marathon Foundation and co-organiser Pia Live Creative offer two days of shorter-distance races on special loops above the city. This is a separate event from the full Tokyo Marathon on 7 March.
Friday 5 March (Japan Standard Time)
- 10:00-12:40: Welcome 1 Mile Run: two laps of an 800m loop, untimed, JPY 3,500. Minimum high-school age; start waves assigned later.
- 13:30-15:30: Timed GINZA 5K, five 1km laps, JPY 5,500. Online finisher certificate.

Saturday 6 March
- 08:00-12:00: GINZA Morning 5K, timed, JPY 5,500.
- 12:30-13:30: Family 1 Mile Run, free; one adult and one young child. Registration through ONE TOKYO only.

The timed 5K uses five laps of a 1km loop; one-mile runs use two laps of 800m. Relay teams run repeated 1km laps and must have at least one eligible adult, with extra supervision for younger children. The organiser does not allow accompanying non-participants into most sessions. Each participant's wave assignment follows registration closure.
Access: The sole participant entrance is the Nishi-Ginza entrance/ramp, about three minutes from Ginza-itchome Station exits 3 and 7, or seven minutes from Yurakucho Station's Kyobashi exit. This is not the Tokyo Marathon Expo. No bags can be stored at the venue, and loose hats and umbrellas may be restricted due to wind. Travel light and check the organiser's access map.
Registration: Entries opened 1 October 2026 and close 14 February 2027 at 23:59 JST or earlier when capacity is reached. The primary booking link is for Friday; Saturday has its own official registration page. The organiser's full English programme provides detailed eligibility and rules. ARC has no exact 1-mile or time-based relay distance option, so those races are described rather than mislabelled as 1K or 2K.
