substitute entries. Upon disqualification, we will collect your bib and timing chip.

Athlete Bibs and Recording

Please gather at the starting point at the Tokushima Prefectural Government Office. Runners should allow ample time for transportation.
Check your belongings at the gear check located in the southbound lane of National Route 55, and line up in your block. (There are toilets
at the Prefectural Government Office and several other places. You can confirm their location on the map in this guidebook.)
Assembly areas are divided into seven blocks based on the color and letter on your bib. Be sure to assemble and line up with the blockthat matches your bibʼs color and letter. *Blocks are set up for both registered and general runners in order of running ability based on
previous marathon results and expected completion time. The SS and S blocks are for pre-registered athletes.
This race features a wave (staggered) start. Wave one consists of the SS– C blocks, and wave two consists of the D – E blocks.If a wave
one runner starts with wave two, their time will be recorded as if they had started with wave one. If a wave two runner starts with wave
one, they will be disqualified. Please be sure to stick to your own block and wave.
Wave one will start at 9:00 am and wave two will start at 9:10 am with a starter pistol, but please remain in your blocks after you
assemble at 8:40 am and proceed to the starting point. There will be roughly 8,000 runners in the starting area, so please move inan orderly fashion to prevent falls and other accidents. Runners in wave two will wait behind the start line until the starting pistol at

to the officialsʼ instructions.

Time recording will be conducted using timing chips.
Race timing (which determines rankings and award recipients) is based on the time elapsed between when each runner crosses thestart line and finish line (net time). However, JAAF official timing will be based on the time of the starting pistol firing (gross time).

Runners not wearing bibs will not be considered participants in this race. (Such runners will be removed by officials.)
If you are wearing coats or other clothing to keep warm, please attach the bib to your outermost layer of clothing so it can be seen.
Be sure to fill out all the necessary information on the back of your bib.
Timing chips will be collected after the race at the finish area. Please return them to the designated area.
