About the Nagano Marathon
The Nagano Marathon is a scenic and culturally rich race held in the historic city of Nagano, Japan. Set against the backdrop of the Japanese Alps, this IAAF Bronze Label event takes runners through the heart of the 1998 Winter Olympics host city. The course features a mix of urban landscapes and rural charm, passing by iconic landmarks such as Zenkoji Temple and the Olympic Stadium. With its relatively flat profile and typically cool spring temperatures, the Nagano Marathon offers an excellent opportunity for runners to achieve personal bests while experiencing the unique blend of traditional Japanese culture and modern sporting legacy.
