In 2016 and 2017, Tokyo Marathon Charity Runner applications have reached the maximum capacity of 3,000. The annual donations received by the foundation have been exceeding 300 million JPY consistently since 2015. Tokyo Marathon announced that the charity entry places will increase to 4,000 next year.

Out of the 4,000 charity entry places, 100 places will be reserved for the recipient programs. This trial charity program called Active Charity aims to further enhance contribution of Tokyo Marathon to the society. Active Charity runners have to promote and raise funds on their own.

The tentative date for Tokyo Marathon 2018 is 25 February 2018. The race information and details will be approved by end of June.

Registration for Charity Runners

To participate in Tokyo Marathon as a charity runner, you need to raise 100,000 yen or more. The application for Charity entry places will take place from 1 July 2017 to 31 July 2017, while the application for Active Charity is open from 1 July 2017 until 31 August 2017.

If you wish to donate any amount, you can submit an application for donations, which will remain open until 31 March 2018.
