Tokyo Marathon Increases Entry Fees for 2026

Citing increased operating costs as a result of rising prices, the Tokyo Marathon Foundation announced on Jan. 22 that it will be raising entry fees for the 2026 edition of the race. Including taxes and fees, entry for residents of Japan will increase 20% from ¥16,500 to ¥19,800. International entries will increase 43.75% from $160 USD to $230 USD.

The move was approved at a board meeting on the 22nd. A statement cited the effects of rising prices on the event's operating costs, the need to improve services offered to participants, and the extra work needed to cope with higher numbers of international participants. Entry fees for the accompanying 10.7 km race will remain unchanged given its relatively small scale and the fees charged at other similar events.

Complete results here . Women's Pole Vault Final National record holder Misaki Morota cleared her minimum goal, the win in 4.31 m to score enough points to move from 33rd to 32nd in the 32-deep Paris Olympic quota. Morota took two attempts to get over 4.30 m, but on her first try at a Japanese National Championships meet record 4.41 m she got it done.
