Below are top 10 results for the 2015 Tokyo Marathon which took place Sunday morning (February 22nd in Japan). Tokyo may be a part of the Abbot World Marathon Majors but when it comes to results and live time tracking, Tokyo was very far from a major. It had no live leaderboard. You could track runners if you knew there bib number (or name in Japanese).

Fortunately the TV broadcast had a screenshot of the top 10.
