Check out what's on tap this week with our selection of triathlons and marathons in Japan that might pique your curiosity.

ISHIGAKI TRIATHLON: Opening Soon
Registration (first come, first served) opens Tuesday, November 15 at 1200. Last year, it sold out very quickly - as in about 24 hours.

Also in related news, entry fees for many races, especially large-scale course certified marathons - have noticeably increased. ​
