Welcome to 2023 - it's gonna be a good year for races in Japan! 
Whether you hit the pavement, traverse the trails, or pursue multiple sports, we're in the known - and you're in the right place. 

Event organizers are busy announcing registration dates and race days - here are three that pique our curiosity right now:
  • Sweets Marathon (Yamanashi)
  • Miura Peninsula Trail Run (Kanagawa)
  • Kasumigaura Marathon (Ibaraki)
Sweets Marathon (Yamanashi)
  • Feb 5 - register by Jan 15
  • An event sponsored by popular Japanese maker of delicious desserts, Chateraise, this may be the only race you walk away from in a calorie surplus. Entitlements include take-home desserts and coupons to Chateraise.
  • Not actually a marathon - participants must choose between running 45 minutes or 80 minutes.
  • Approximately 2/3 or about 64% of participants are women.
