Osaka Marathon

The Osaka Marathon is a growing annual running event usually held in November in the big and welcoming city of Osaka. The event is on the same scale as other big major marathons in terms of participants (30,000+). As most running events in Japan, the Osaka marathon is very well organized and as well the city is filled with excitement to celebrate the sport of long distance running.

Course-wise, it's mostly flat with some narrow passages, many bridges and lots of containers as you get closer to the finish line near Intex Osaka port. The most tricky part however is the "heart or leg breaking" Nanko bridge at 37km which has aptly been called "The Bridge of Doom".
