Registration for the 12th Fukuoka Marathon, scheduled for November 9, is open until 8:00 p.m. on May 21 via the event’s official website. The full marathon, starting in Tenjin and ending in Itoshima, will admit 13,000 participants—1,000 more than last year, marking a record high. Additional events include a 5.2 km wheelchair race for 20 people and a fun run for 2,000 participants. Time limits are seven hours for the full marathon, 30 minutes for the wheelchair race, and 65 minutes for the fun run. Due to high demand, entry to the full marathon will be determined by lottery, with results for all events to be announced at the end of June. Source: Fukuoka Marathon
