Late August in Sapporo means warm, dry days and the tail end of summer buzz, perfect for exploring the city's grid of parks and canals before the marathon. Stroll the wide, tree-lined avenues and riverside paths that mirror the course, then refuel with a bowl of rich miso ramen or fresh Hokkaido seafood at the Nijo Market, a short walk from the start.
