Nagano is surprisingly popular for a “non‑major” marathon. Here are the key stats I highlight:
- Field size: There is a cap of 10,000 runners; in 2026, 10,847 registered.
- Starters vs finishers (2026): 9,295 runners started, and 7,381 finished, a completion rate of 79.4%.
- Foreign participation (2026): 292 overseas runners registered (227 men, 65 women).
Would you like me to unpack what these numbers mean for your chances of getting an entry and finishing within the 5‑hour cut‑off?
