The checking-in of runners desk and the EXPO opening hours on Oct 25
Dear Participants,
Please be informed of the following updated information:
The checking-in of runners desk will be open tomorrow (Oct. 25) at the EXPO as originally scheduled (11:00-19:30).
Regarding October 26 (Sat), massive disruption to public transportation is expected due to the typhoons approaching Japan,
so there might be lots of runners flooding into the checking-in of runners desk.
As such, if you can come to the venue early, please go through the checking-in within Friday.
The holding of the marathon will be decided on the morning of Sunday.
The final decision will be posted on our website at 5a.m. of October 27 (Sun).
We are taking all possible measures to hold the event, so the announcement will be just before the marathon.
In case of the issuance of a storm warning or the occurrence of damage to roads, the marathon might be canceled.
Let's hope that it will be fine on Sunday.
Please note that the information on the event is scheduled to be updated again at 14:00 of October 26 (Sat).
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Best regards,
Osaka Marathon Organizing Committee
