Possible Interruption
During the race, if anything urgent happens including an accident or fire, emergency vehicles will
possibly be passing anywhere on the race course. In this case, the event staff will ask runners to stoprunning.

No Fancy Dress
The marathon course includes narrow roads and unpaved riverbank. On the road we will stop runners
when emergency vehicles are passing by, control the runway so that pedestrians can cross the street.
Runners are supposed to pay attention to all the places they are running, and we ask you to wear theclothes that are easy to move. Running in fancy dress is fun and somewhat livens up the event.
However, it may limit your move and make other runners and the audience on the road uncomfortable.
Therefore, in this event, we prohibit participants from running in fancy dress. Also, we do not allow youto wear and display any designs that indicate certain company names and products; trademarks, andother advertisements that are considered to be advertisement activities.

Race course uniting dozens of charms of Kyoto
The race course runs along seven UNESCO world cultural heritage sites (Tenryu-jiTemple, Ninna-ji Temple, Ryoan-ji Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kamigamo-jinjaShrine, Shimogamo-jinja Shrine, and Ginkaku-ji Temple), and all of the “Gozan”(the five mountains famous for spectacular “Okuri-bi bonfires”) are visible on thecourse.
Kyoto International Conference Center which was the site of COP3 (The 3rdUnited Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and where the Kyoto
Protocol was ratified, is also located along the course.
Every runner will feel the soul and spirit of Kyoto.
