The Tokyo Marathon 2013 took place on 24 February and it was the first competition for Tokyo as part of the World Marathon Majors. More then 36,000 runners and about 1.7 million spectators participated in this great event. It was a bright and sunny day, seemed perfect for running, and for taking some pictures!

The professionals in front—their speed is simply amazing
Then there is the main field, which ...
... seems to be endless—35,000 runners!
The course passes all the main sight, including Tokyo Tower
... and Ginza
Wearing costumes is very popular at the Tokyo Marathon,
My personal favoristes in 2013 were this cinematographor, ...
... Doraemon ...
... and Jesus!
In 2013 I 'participated' as a spectator. Should I try as a runner next year?
