If you love race day to be fun this is a great event that is extremely organized for foreign runners. To run the Aqualine is unique, has amazing scenery and a sky show above to take your mind off the 30m elevation in the middle with helicopters doing formation flying. The run down the other side of the bridge is fast and every volunteer never stops encouraging you on. Drink stations are plentiful as well as toilets. On course you really didn’t need to wait to use one.
Like with most Japanese marathons they love to stick some hills in the way around the 36km mark and this marathon too has that challenge but overall the roads are excellent and smooth to help you have a fast event.

Aqualine Half Marathon in Chiba has been my all time favorite race so far! The atmosphere is just incredible! It takes place in the small city of Kisarazu which belongs to the Chiba area which is just next to Tokyo. You can easily go by metro to the start. Very interesting expo – it´s like a food festival and you could have a hot soup with interesting add ons just before running if you like! The course is quite flat except of the huge Aqualine Bridge from which you have an amazing view to Tokyo and Haneda Airport. The atmosphere along the course is incredible. It seems like everyone comes to cheer the runners – school classes, old people – just anyone! It was so much fun running Chiba Aqualine Marathon! The wooden medal is awesome and the festival in the finish area as well! If you ever have the chance to run that race, do it!
