The 2018 Tokyo Marathon (Japanese: 東京マラソン 2018) was the twelfth edition of the annual marathon race in Tokyo and was held on Sunday, 25 February. An IAAF Gold Label Road Race, it was the first World Marathon Majors event to be held that year. The men's race was won by Dickson Chumba in 2:05:30 hours while the women's race was won by Birhane Dibaba in 2:19:51. The men's runner-up Yuta Shitara set a Japanese national record time of 2:06:11 hours. This was also an Asian record. The host nation featured prominently in the men's race, with two runners in the top five and six of the top ten being Japanese. The Japanese women fared less well, with sixth-place Hiroko Yoshitomi being the best national performer (over ten minutes behind the winner).[1]
Around 35,500 runners took part in the marathon races, with a further 500 taking part in a 10K run linked to the event. The public section of the race was oversubscribed 9 times over, with nearly 320,000 applications received.[2] From an initial 35,911 starters, a total of 34,542 people finished the marathon distance, 7905 (23%) of which were women and 32 wheelchair racers.[3][4] The event was broadcast live on television by Fuji TV and live radio commentary was provided by Nippon Broadcasting System.[5] An exhibition about the race was held at Tokyo Big Sight in the three days proceeding the race.
