Mt. Fuji International Marathon

Perfect weather conditions, amazing location, beautiful Mt. Fuji view along the way, runners around the world and a good route with cheerful crowds!!! What else do you want? I only did the "Around Lake Kawaguchiko 29km race"... I guess I need to get back there again and do the full Marathon :)

The route was lovely and the weather was great. It was good to see so many people from so many different places coming to run at this iconic landmark.

This was my first marathon ever! I was so happy to run it. The view was breathtaking. During the run, everyone stopped to take a photo of themselves with Mt. Fuji in the background. The weather was perfect on the day I ran it. Mt. Fuji was very photogenic, the sun was not shying away and the red leaves were starting to show!
