The 8th Iwate Morioka City Marathon is a flat, record-friendly loop road marathon starting and finishing at Kitagin Ball Park, running through Morioka's newer districts, the historic castle town around the Morioka Castle ruins, and open rural countryside with views of Mt. Iwate. The course is certified by the JAAF and is a Boston Qualifier.

Why attend here

October in Morioka brings crisp air and clear skies, ideal for a marathon through the city's historic castle ruins and rural trails with Mt. Iwate as your backdrop. After the race, warm up with a bowl of Morioka's famous wanko soba, where servers keep refilling your bowl — a fun, local dining challenge. Explore the old samurai district and the calm of the castle grounds, where autumn colors are just beginning to show.
