The world’s largest women’s marathon, the Nagoya Women’s Marathon 2025, to be held on March 9, 2025

Starting this year, Baccarat, France’s luxury brand of fine crystal, will congratulate all finishers at the finish line with a special gift.

The world’s top female athletes will gather in Nagoya to engage in a heated competition, which also serves as a qualifier for the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025 in September.

The Nagoya Women’s Marathon is delighted to announce the event outline of the Nagoya Women’s Marathon 2025. It plans to hold the world’s largest women runners‘ festival on Sunday, March 9, 2025, welcoming 20,000 participants, including 3,500 overseas entrants.

Launched in 2012, the Nagoya Women’s Marathon is certified by Guinness World Records as the largest women’s marathon in the world and is a World Athletics Platinum Label race. The 2025 race is expected to draw special attention from home and abroad, as it will be a qualifier for the Japanese team for the World Athletics Championships Tokyo in September and an excellent opportunity for international athletes to test their abilities on Japanese soil.

The Nagoya Women’s Marathon is known for congratulating all its finishers with a special commemorative gift, and from the 2025 event, a beautiful tumbler from Baccarat, a French luxury lifestyle brand celebrating its 260th anniversary, will await runners at the finish line. A symbol of celebration and joy, Baccarat will celebrate the moment of the emotional finish with a special tumbler in their signature red box.

The Nagoya Women’s Marathon is regarded by many, if not most, female runners as the best event for women runners of all ages and levels of running experience to safely enjoy marathon running and create lifetime memories, with its unique features and hospitality as well as the thoroughly prepared medical system and the number of temporary toilets (and their cleanliness!)

The theme of the Nagoya Women’s Marathon 2025 is „Connections Beyond the Finish Line.“ Why don’t you come to Japan next spring, finish the race with 20,000 other female runners, and make a memorable toast after the finish?

The overseas entries are scheduled to open from Thursday, September 5, 2025, to Wednesday, September 25, 2025.
