– Tokyo Marathon Will Be On Sunday, February 26, 2012 (EX-SKF, Feb. 24, 2012):
World-class runners will start the race in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Hall in Shinjuku, run through the central and downtown Tokyo, and finish in Tokyo Big Sight on Ariake landfill. Not really a low-rad course, but it will be nothing like the Women’s Ekiden Road Race in Fukushima last year featuring 13 year-old girls.
There is no mention of radiation anywhere on the official site of the Tokyo Marathon 2012.
Not when the mayor wants 2020 Olympic.
