This is an urban marathon that takes the natural environment into consideration and allows for beautiful running.
Enjoy the refreshing nature of the Yodo River basin, where fairies seem to gather, and in the full and half marathons, aim to complete the course by passing through the Kema Lock and crossing the normally inaccessible Yodo River Weir!
The Osaka Yodogawa Citizens Marathon has a course set on the Yodogawa riverbed, centered around the national park “Yodogawa River Park Sotojima/Taishibashi District Special Venue” (Sotojima-cho, Moriguchi City, Osaka Prefecture).
