Cool start, mild finish

Runners will face a temperature trend starting at 46°F and peaking at 53°F. With light winds from the S at 5 mph and gusts up to 15 mph, conditions will be generally favorable. However, the humidity at 67% suggests a need for hydration monitoring, and runners should consider pace adjustments if rain begins.

Race Info

The Mt. Fuji International Marathon runs a single lap around Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Saiko in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, with Mount Fuji visible for more than half the course. The full marathon starts and finishes at the Funatsuhama lakeside parking area on Lake Kawaguchi's shore. Starting with the 2026 edition the race weekend expanded to two days, adding a Fuji View Run and Fuji View Walk alongside the full marathon, a roughly 17km lap of Lake Kawaguchi, and a charity fun run. The course is JAAF-certified and the race is a Boston Marathon qualifier.
