On Dec. 8 the JAAF announced that the
MGC Race, Japan's marathon trials for the 2024 Paris Olympics, will be held in Tokyo on Oct. 15, 2023. The race will happen on the same day as the 2nd edition of the
Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon, which was held for the first time this year on the same course used for the last MGC Race and the Tokyo Paralympics marathon.
A total of 42 men and 22 women have qualified so far for next year's MGC Race since the qualification period opened on Nov. 1, 2021. For
the Tokyo Olympics MGC Race only 34 men and 15 women qualified, representing an improvement this time. Start times, the course and other details will be announced by the JAAF after they have been finalized.
