The Okayama Marathon runs Nov 8, 2026 — a flat, lottery-entry course past Okayama Castle, the Asahi River and Korakuen garden, with a 6-hour limit.

Why attend here

Run through Okayama's storybook scenery, from the black Crow Castle and Korakuen garden to riverside paths, then refuel with local specialties like Okayama-style barazushi and white peaches, all under the mild, clear skies of early November.

Course

The route showcases Okayama's icons: the black Okayama Castle (烏城, 'Crow Castle'), the Asahi River, the historic Korakuen garden (one of Japan's three great gardens), plus the downtown avenues and the reclaimed-farmland and bayside stretches in the south. It is a scenic, spectator-friendly city tour rather than a destination-resort course.
