1. Story
2. Tokyo consolidates the elite men-only Tokyo International Marathon, held since 1981, with a mass public race open to tens of thousands. Daniel Njenga and Hitomi Niiya are the first winners. It is the first of the six to be built from the outset as a mass event in a city that already had an elite one.

30. 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.
