Important Points before Starting○ The Kyoto Marathon is managed under the Japan Association of Athletics Federations regulations
2023 as well as the rules specific to the Kyoto Marathon 2024.
○ Proxies for applicants will not be permitted.
○ If there is an emergency during the marathon, emergency measures will be conducted. Compensation
for injuries that occur during the marathon will fall under the purview of the marathon s insurance.

Health Check○ Please check the pre-start checklist, which will be
distributed when you check in, and if you do not feel
well, do not force yourself to compete in the race.
○ During the race, if at any time there are any unusualchanges to your physical condition, please withdraw
and do not try to complete the race.
○ If you have just recovered from COVID-19, inﬂuenza or
another contagious disease, or if you are undergoingtreatment or a close contact of someone who has
tested positive (those under health observation) you
will not be permitted to participate in the race.

Clothing○ Please run in clothing where your athlete bib is visibleat all times.
○ To ensure the safety of the 16,000 people running,
costumes are prohibited.
*This is due to the fact costumes may make it difficult
to confirm the safety of runners and prevent swift
emergency treatment.
○ The wearing or display of any advertisements forcompanies, products, trademarks, etc. at the marathon
venue and on the course is not permitted.
○ Weather conditions on the day of the race may vary,and the changing area on the day of the race might bevery crowded. We ask participants to wear most of theclothes they plan to wear in the race from theirresidence or lodging to the venue, and recommendthat they use the changing rooms primarily to remove
cold-weather clothing.

Measures Against the Cold

Check!

While you are racing in harshly cold weather, there ispotential for hypothermia. Each person should take measures
to ensure they are protected against the cold.
〈Clothing〉○ Please use the participation prize Kyoto Marathon 2024
Original Neck Gaiter as a headband or neckwarmer.
○ Arm warmers, long tights, and other cold-weather clothingcan be very helpful.
○ T-shirts (long-sleeved, etc.) made of cotton might not dry
quickly when you sweat. We recommend wearing a
fast-drying polyester material.
〈Poncho〉○ A transparent poncho can help against the cold, and it is
helpful as your athlete bib (marathon bib) will still bevisible. If you would like to throw either away during therace, please place it in a garbage box along the course.
