Tokyo redesigns its course for speed
node
The race keeps its start outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building but abandons the hilly, exposed final 6 km along the waterfront, moving the finish to Gyoko-dori beside Tokyo Station. Roughly 13 to 14 km of the course is new. Turns and gradient are reduced and the course becomes markedly faster while remaining record-eligible — a city deliberately re-engineering its streets into a faster instrument.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- From 2017 the Tokyo Marathon kept its start at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building but replaced the final waterfront section with a finish at Gyoko-dori beside Tokyo Station, changing roughly 13 to 14 km of the course and reducing turns and gradient; the race was first held on 18 February 2007, replacing the Tokyo International Marathon.
