Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture, has increased the capacity for the full marathon at the 34th Fukuchiyama Marathon—scheduled for November 22, 2026—from 6,000 to 10,000 runners, as the number of applicants exceeded the original limit. Officials believe the decision to schedule the event on the middle day of a long weekend for the first time contributed to this success. Applications are open until September 20.
