If you're in need of a free daikon radish on Sunday, March 5, the Miura International Marathon is a way to get one for "free". The name is a little misleading as there is only a single category - the half marathon.
The course isn't flat - you're running to Jogashima after all. While some bits are an out and back, the majority of the course is a big loop around the southern tip of the peninsula. miura-marathon.com/course/
If you're like us and live in the Miura Peninsula, this is basically in our backyard.
Start and finish is near the Keikyu Miura Kaigan station - so about 25 minutes from Yokosuka Chuo, 35 minutes from Jimmuji, and 45 minutes from Zushi Hayama station and Yokohama station.
Registration opens on November 1 - more details at https://miura-marathon.com

After an 8-year hiatus, Japan's primary large-scale triathlon race organizer Athlonia announced plans in early August to bring back the full distance IRONMAN to Japan in 2023.
The brief news release mentions coordination with Higashi Mikawa, located in the Toyokawa basin in the eastern part of Aichi Prefecture and home to the city of Toyohashi. Aichi Prefecture has been the home to IRONMAN 70.3 Centrair since 2010. However, since a major accident among athletes on the compact seven-lap bike course in the 2020 edition of the race, IRONMAN has remained dormant in Japan - failing to return in 2021 and with no signs for revival in 2022.
