---

One of Japan's flattest marathons (about 10 m total), run through Saga under late-March cherry blossoms. First-come entry, 8,500 spots, 6.5h limit.

Why attend here

In early spring, Saga's cherry blossoms frame the course past Yoshinogari's ancient ruins and the castle museum, with the Tabuse River adding a serene backdrop. After the race, warm up with a bowl of rich Saga beef ramen or sip local sake in the city's cozy izakayas.
