Event Detail
Tokyo Marathon Family Run 2027 is an official, family-focused running activity held in the atmosphere of Tokyo Marathon race day, Sunday 7 March 2027. The Tokyo Marathon Foundation has announced a short approximately 1km fun run around Dai-ichi Life Hibiya First (ground floor) and the Tokyo Marathon finish area. Unlike the elite and mass-participation marathon, this event is designed for a primary-school-aged child to run together with a parent or guardian.
Who can take part?
- Each team is one elementary-school pupil and one adult parent or guardian. The event is a pair fun run, not an open-entry adult 1K.
- The child-and-adult pair must be capable of completing the approximately 1km course within 10 minutes, according to the organiser's published eligibility requirement.
- Wheelchair participation is permitted under the organiser's published conditions.
- Capacity is 500 pairs (1,000 people). Organisers warn that event conditions may change.
Location and access
The proposed venue is the first floor of Dai-ichi Life Hibiya First and the area around the main Tokyo Marathon finish near central Tokyo. The building address is 1-13-1 Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. It is about a two-minute walk from JR Yurakucho Station, or about one minute from Hibiya Station. The precise route, gathering point and access arrangements are provisional, so follow the event's final participant guide rather than planning around the main marathon starting line in Shinjuku.
What has not yet been announced
The 2027 Family Run starting time, registration opening date, entry fee, race-pack arrangements and booking link have not been published on the official event page as at 27 October 2026. The calendar entry uses 00:00 JST only as a date placeholder, not as an actual flag-off time. Do not assume entries are free: the free family-mile activity on Friday/Saturday at the separate RUNS: INTO KK event is not this Sunday Family Run.
The Family Run is separate from Tokyo Marathon 2027 itself and the 5-6 March RUNS: INTO KK events. Official details and updates: Tokyo Marathon Family Run 2027.
