Tokyo Marathon 2027

7 March 2027

Hit the historic streets of Tokyo from Shinjuku to Asakusa with Movember. This Abbott World Major Marathon is not to be missed with its incredible course through the rich history of Japan's capital. This fast and flat race will have you striving for your personal best.

Run it while wearing your Movember kit and every step means something more. You'll be raising funds for men's health and helping to create healthier communities. Tokyo gives you the stage; Movember gives you the reason.

Entry into this race is notoriously hard to come by. Joining the Movember Athletics Team is your guaranteed way in.

What am I committing to?

  • Fundraise at least $8,400 for Movember by 28 February 2027 (please note: all fundraising is due before the race).
  • Hit fundraising milestones along the way.
  • Provide your own travel and accommodation in Tokyo.
  • Represent, in training and in fundraising, Movember’s vision to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.
