Since 2011, Tokyo Marathon has raised over 2 billion JPY in donations through its charity program. These funds are donated to various recipient programs. In next year’s Tokyo Marathon 2019, the total number of charity entry places remains at 4,000 slots. Out of the 4,000 slots, 300 will be allocated to Active Charity Recipient Programs.

What is Active Charity?

Unlike Charity Runner program where each runner is required to raise at least 100,000 yen for Tokyo Marathon, Active Charity is a program where the recipient programs promote and raise funds on their own with those 300 secured slots.

Active Charity was first implemented in 2018 as a trial program where only 100 slots were reserved for recipient programs. The program will be officially launched in Tokyo Marathon 2019.

Active Charity Recipient Programs

Tokyo Marathon aims to raise donations by providing donors with an even wider selection of charities. The number of recipient programs will increase from 15 programs in 2018 to 22 programs next year. Below is the list of 22 recipient programs for Tokyo Marathon 2019.
