The Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon is an urban sporting event that is part of the legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics Games.
This half marathon, held in the metropolis of Tokyo, brings together diverse runners to provide authentic, timeless value. We want to share this new "TOKYO AUTHENTIC" spirit with the next generation of runners.
We photographed men's and women's 1st place winners of the Next Generation Athlete Award 2024 just as they are, at a prominent location in the Japan National Stadium—a sacred place for athletes. Both athletes brimmed with hope for a new culture of running.
■Message from Race Director Ōshima
As a half marathon held in the sophisticated metropolis of Tokyo, the value we hold most dear is "AUTHENTIC."
With a grand vision of creating a truly AUTHENTIC race, we aim to offer an experience where elite runners, para-athletes, general participants, supporters, and spectators alike can discover their own sense of value through this event.
We want everyone to truly feel—from the bottom of their hearts—that running is both fun and stylish.
The Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon will continue to evolve, guided by this simple yet powerful belief held deep within us.
■ Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon Logo - Design Concept
The Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon logo is similar to the Tokyo Marathon logo design, but instead of straight lines, it features curved lines. It distinguishes itself apart from the Tokyo Marathon logo, hinting that this event is a part of the Tokyo Marathon yet different and unique in its own way.
The smooth contour lines forming a circle symbolize inclusivity, expressing the hope that this half marathon would bring people together from all sectors of life.
