On February 14, 2020, the Tokyo Marathon Foundation announced that it would refrain from participating in Tokyo Marathon 2020 in runners living in China.
At present, the Government of Japan is imposing further restrictions, such as expanding the area covered by immigration restrictions to areas other than Hubei Province and stopping the issuance of visas to Chinese residents.
On February 6, the Foundation announced that it would grant the right to run Tokyo Marathon 2021 in the following year, although it would not refund the participation fee this year, as a measure for runners in China who were unable to participate in Tokyo Marathon 2020.
This time, it was decided to exempt the participation fee for this year, and it was decided to request that the Chinese runners refrain from participating.
