The 3rd annual Tokyo Marathon is this Sunday, Mar. 22. This year's race features continued refinements geared to help make Tokyo into a truly world-class event, including the addition of an elite women's field and a public prize purse. It is also the final domestic selection race for the men's World Championships marathon team and will host a competitive field of many of Japan's best male marathoners. JRN will be dedicating most of the week to coverage of the event and its athletes.
