Marathon d'Osaka

A really fantastic marathon with terrific crowd support and well-provisioned aid stations. The route’s mostly flat with no serious undulations - at least for such a big city as Osaka.

Osaka Marathon was excellent. Incredibly well organised and crowds of people cheering us on throughout. Make sure you save some gas for the hill at 37K because it's brutal. I will definitely run this course again. If you want to buy some Osaka Marathon commemorative apparel, then make sure you do it early on because sizes sell out quickly.

Well organised expo. Race kit collection is a breeze. Bag drop is smooth. Race is well organised. Supporters are very supportive and full of energy.
