Tokyo Marathon 2017
By Chris Dinsdale
February 26, 2017 - The Tokyo Marathon takes place, with over 36,000 runners expected to participate on a course that has been adapted to eliminate several hills in the closing stages to enable faster, potentially record-breaking times. Tokyo was promoted in 2013 to become one of the six World Marathon Majors, joining the lineup of London, Boston, Berlin, Chicago and New York.
