Tokyo Marathon 2012 was held on Feb. 26, 2012. I took pictures near the finish line at Tokyo Big Sight. Amid 36,000 runners, there was lots of entertainment. Finish line also had bleachers where the public could watch for free. (The finish line was later moved to Tokyo Station.)
Right: Tokyo Marathon 2012 winner Michael Kipyego finished with 2:07:37, the third fastest time in Tokyo Marathon history at the time.
Center: Yuki KAWAUCHI came in 14th place. He had received the most publicity before the marathon. Too bad he lost his ticket to the London Olympics.
Right: Tokyo Marathon 2012’s top Japanese woman finisher was Eri Okubo. 大久保 絵里
Lots of zany costumes. Great entertainment as always. Here are some of them.
