The Nagoya Women's Marathon will open the race entry for the 2025 race from
Thursday, September 5, 2024, to Wednesday, September 25, 2024, for runners
living outside Japan. The 2025 edition of the "largest women's running

Nagoya, Japan, with 20,000 participants, including 3,500 overseas and 500
virtual race entrants to provide the world's best stage for women runners
to shine. Entries with accommodation package are now being accepted as
advance entries.
Launched in 2012, the Nagoya Women's Marathon is certified by Guinness
World Records as the largest women's marathon in the world and is a World
Athletics Platinum Label race. All 2025 finishers will receive a beautiful
tumbler from Baccarat, a French luxury lifestyle brand celebrating its
260th anniversary, as a memento of their achievement. Attracting much
attention, the design of the finisher tumbler will be unveiled on a special
stage at the Marathon Expo on the day before the race.
Enchanting festivities and elegant receptions, Baccarat has won over the
elite. From the custom furniture made for the Maharajahs of India to the
majestic "Tsar's" candelabra created for Nicholas II, the impressive
collection of lighting fixtures for the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, the
pieces commissioned by Napoleon III for his apartments in the Louvre and
Tuileries, the refined creations for the Japanese imperial court, to the
Juvisy service that has adorned the ceremonial tables of the Elysée Palace
since 1899, Baccarat has cast its light around the world, establishing
itself as the king of crystal.
The 2025 event will feature a virtual race, the Nagoya Women's Online
Marathon 2025, which originally started as an alternative way of event
participation under the travel restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic,
providing a feasible and sustainable option for runners who are unable to
visit Nagoya or Japan on race day or who wish to reduce their environmental
footprint by traveling long distances. Participants of the virtual marathon
who have completed running a total distance of 42.195 km on a smartphone
application during the event period of February 9, 2025, to March 31, 2025,
will receive the same finisher prizes as the Nagoya Women's Marathon 2025
by mail. Entries will be accepted from Friday, October 18, 2024, to
Thursday, October 31, 2024.

About the Nagoya Women's Marathon
The Nagoya Women's Marathon is the largest women's marathon in the world,
certified by Guinness World Records with 21,915 participants in 2018, held
annually in March in Nagoya City, Japan. It was launched on March 11, 2012,
with 13,114 participants, reformed from the Nagoya International Women's
Marathon, the elite-only women's race known as the qualifying trial that
had sent off many Japanese star athletes to the international competitions,
including two Olympic gold medalists Naoko Takahashi and Mizuki Noguchi. It
holds the World Athletics Platinum Label status and has now grown to an
event of 20,000 participants. For playing a significant role in the
increase of the women runner population in Japan, the race was awarded the
International Olympic Committee Women and Sport Achievement Diploma in
2019, after receiving the Japan Olympic Committee Women and Sport Award in
2017.
