The 3rd annual Tokyo Marathon, a run straight through the heart of Tokyo, was held on March 22. The total number of participants this year for the full marathon and the 10-kilometer race was a record 35,000, including wheelchair racers and guest runners from abroad. Runners were hindered by strong winds and rain during the race when the weather took a turn for the worse, but most were able to finish the race supported by the rooting of spectators and the help of race volunteers. Ninety-seven percent of all participants were able to make it to the finish line.
