Why attend here

October in Niigata brings crisp air and autumn colors along the Shinano River, making the marathon route past Bandai Bridge and the Sea of Japan a scenic, comfortable run. Afterward, warm up with a bowl of hearty hegi soba noodles or sip local sake at a riverside brewery, and explore the city's historic waterfront at a leisurely pace.
