News Tokyo Biggest ever field for Tokyo Marathon The Tokyo Marathon have increased their field to 40,000 making their 20 th anniversary race next year the biggest in their history. The increased field size is one of a number of new initiatives being introduced by the Tokyo Foundation, which organises the marathon. The prize money for the winner of the elite men’s and women’s races has been increased to $170,000 making it the most lucrative of any Abbott World Marathon Major. New steps have been introduced for disabled competitors as the race becomes more accessible. A new elite para-athlete has been created and there will be more disability categories for the mass field. Duo teams, which were trialled in 2025, will also become an official division. More details of Tokyo's 20th anniversary race, including how to enter, can be found on their new website.
