Tip #5: The Finish Line is a LONG Walk Away 🏁🚶‍♂️

“You did it! 🏅 But don’t underestimate the post-race logistics! 🚀”

✅ Bring a warm layer—temps drop fast post-run
✅ Refuel ASAP—you won’t eat for a while!
✅ Plan your meetup spot—the exit area is crowded

Tip #4: The Course Has Some Sneaky Inclines 📈

“People say Tokyo is “flat”, but… they’re wrong! 😅

🏅 Beware of these 3 tough sections:
➡️ Shinjuku Start (slight uphill at the beginning)
➡️ Asakusa Bridge (mid-race incline)
➡️ Final 3km (energy-draining slight uphill)

Tip #3: Be Ready for Hydration Rules 💧🚫

✅ Hydration stations every ~5km (water & sports drinks)
✅ Practice drinking on the run (some runners struggle!)
✅ If you rely on gels, carry them yourself—aid stations don’t always have them!

Hydration is KEY:don’t let it slow you!

Tip #2: Arrive at the Start EARLY ⏰

“The Tokyo Marathon start area is HUGE, and security checks can take a while. 🏙️🚦

✅ Arrive at least 90 mins early
✅ Follow the wave system carefully
✅ Use the porta-potties early—lines get LONG

Tip #1: Tokyo in March can be deceptive—it might be sunny, cold, rainy, or even all three! ☀️❄️🌧️

✅ Check the forecast the night before
✅ Layer up for the start, but have a plan to shed clothes if it warms up
✅ Wear a disposable poncho if rain is expected
