Organized by the Tokyo Marathon Foundation and managed by the Tokyo Athletics Association, the Tokyo Marathon is an annual marathon held in Tokyo, the capital of Japan.

Since it is an IAAF Gold Label marathon and one of the six World Marathon Majors, the applications far outnumber the actual race slots – sometimes even 10-11 times.
