Participating Alone
One of the joys of participating in a marathon is the connection you make with other runners. Even if you are running Tokyo Marathon 2020 on your own, let your running be an inspiration to others. Run for the future!
Participating with Friends & Family
Facing a challenge like running a marathon is made easier when you are running with friends & family. Take this opportunity to see the city together, experience the joy of completing your goal together, and most importantly, have a great time together!
Participating with Co-Workers
Having dinner and drinks with your colleagues after-hours is fun, but working together to make a contribution to society, like becoming a Tokyo Marathon 2020 charity runner, is a great way to deepen your relationships at work.
