Donations and charity runners recruited through Tokyo Marathon 2025 Charity

Under the Tokyo Marathon Foundation's Sports Legacy Program, we added 'Support for the Affected Areas of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Disaster Recovery' as Sports Legacy Program 3 and began accepting donations and recruiting charity runners. A total of ¥25,399,000 in donations was collected and, as 'Relief Fund for the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Disaster Recovery,' it was sent in full to the Disaster Relief Distribution Committee in the affected areas through the Japanese Red Cross Society.
Charity runners who donated to this program will have '#For Noto' printed on their athlete bibs.
