Osaka Marathon 2027

Who should cross for this

Marathon and 720 Naniwa runners, charity entrants, and travelers building a Kansai race weekend around expo pickup and Sunday road closures.

A Kansai destination marathon with published overseas fees and KIX access—useful for Pacific runners who can clear the draw and collect packs at INTEX before race morning.

Suggested trip length: 3 nights for Friday–Saturday expo registration plus Sunday race day

Budget the fee stack you already accepted

Overseas general runners who got in should still expect the US$145 entry, the percentage-based admin fee, and mandatory charity units. Domestic pricing sat at 16,000 JPY for the same category. Category pages on osaka-marathon.com spell out group and 720 fees—read the one that matches the place you hold.

Register at INTEX before race day

Expo registration is February 26–27 in Hall 6, with photo ID required and no proxies. Sunday registration is closed for the marathon. A Nanko hotel for one expo night can help, then shift closer to Castle or the start for Saturday night.

Do not confuse 720 Naniwa with the full marathon

The 7.2 km run and 720 m wheelchair events are separate products with different fees and finish lines. A full-marathon hotel plan near Osaka Castle still works for spectators, but your bib distance decides the morning geography.
