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!
