About the Kagawa Marugame Half Marathon
The Kagawa Marugame Half Marathon delivers Japan's fastest course through charming Shikoku Island. Runners speed along perfectly maintained roads past rice fields, through small villages, and alongside the beautiful Seto Inland Sea. February's cool, dry conditions provide ideal racing weather as participants experience Japanese precision organization at its finest. The incredibly flat route consistently produces personal bests while offering glimpses of everyday Japanese life. Local supporters bring respectful yet enthusiastic encouragement, sometimes offering mochi rice cakes for energy. The race atmosphere perfectly balances competitive focus with cultural immersion, creating a uniquely Japanese running experience where efficiency meets tradition, and serious performance goals harmonize with appreciation for subtle beauty.
