Asahikawa Half Marathon

Asahikawa Half Marathon is a community-centered road race in Asahikawa, Japan, built around a scenic early-autumn course in the heart of Hokkaido’s second-largest city. Organized by the Asahikawa Half Marathon Executive Committee, the event combines a civic, locally rooted atmosphere with a straightforward multi-distance format that includes the Half Marathon, 10K, and 2K. The race hub is set around Dohoku Arcs Taisetsu Arena, and the official materials position the event as a welcoming city run rather than a high-frills destination marathon, making it especially well suited to runners looking for a regional Japanese race with a strong local identity.
