Additionally, Pride House Tokyo signed an agreement with the Tokyo Marathon Foundation in September 2019 to ensure that the event is run in a safe and secure manner for all participants – regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or gender expression, and to work together to accumulate operational knowledge in community-participation sporting events.

Based on this agreement, Pride House Tokyo will work with the Tokyo Marathon Foundation on various initiatives relating to the ”Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon” and ”Tokyo Marathon,” and work together to realize a more inclusive society through these events.

Additionally, starting from the Tokyo Marathon 2025, a non-binary category was added alongside the male and female gender options, similar to the other six Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM) events. We look forward to Tokyo Marathon 2026 also being a race where – as many runners as possible can run as themselves.
