About this event
The 5th Nishio Marathon, held on Sunday, January 17, 2027, is a marathon event hosted in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture. As a full marathon, its distinctive feature is that it is the only one in the prefecture where men and women can run together on public roads. A course has been designed so participants can fully enjoy the charms of Nishio City—often called the Little Kyoto of Mikawa—including its castle town, ocean, rivers, and tea plantations. At aid stations along the course, Nishio specialties such as matcha green tea and eel from Isshiki will be served to energize runners. In addition, warm cheering from local residents and performances such as taiko drumming will enliven the event. Through repeated improvements reflecting feedback from runners, a stage is set where runners can focus 100% on the joy of running. The event theme is 'Scenery and Cheers, Spirits Soaring Like an Eel!', symbolizing the positive energy of runners and the momentum of the event with a dynamic composition. Programs to build excitement together with spectators are also being prepared.
