Official 2026 Tokyo Marathon Live Discussion Thread - Race is 7 pm ET Saturday night.

Its Dawit Wolde, 3rd marathon in about 3 months, won Xiamen in Jan. Edris in Green Adidas

Watching with a VPN is kind of interesting.

I couldn't figure out what was odd about the ads.

Then it hit me. All of the people in the ada are of the same race. In America, every commercial has multiple races, almost no family is of a single race, etc. In Japan, I guess they don't care about diversity.

Levins starting to look a bit uncomfortable at the back of the 2nd group

Dammit.

Cam will be 37 in 4 weeks so his best running days are behind him.

He's still hanging in there tho, might be alright

2:03:49 pace at 30k. 10 guys in lead pack including 2017 and 2019 world 5000 champ Muktar Edris. He and Selemon Barega, theOlympic 10k champm, are the last two guys in the lead pack.

Levins and Osako and crew are 2:05:37 pace .

Is Suguru Osako no longer Nijke? HIs singlet looks non-nike .

Li-Ning these days

he wasn't nike at valencia either Rojo

awesome to see Edris and Barega up there

Lopes and Kipchoge want a word.

Levins actually looks pretty good now!

Hashimoto still hogging camera time.

So would Kenenisa Bekele

We love carnage.

This should be an awesome finish, huge lead group and 6-8 could be in the scrum at 40K?

Can Illias get near Bashir Abdis European record here? Would be outrageous from the former Lamar/Syracuse kid

God, I want Barega. And if not him Edris.

Historians, when is the last time we had 9 guys together at 35k in a major?
