  The Kobe Marathon course will be full marathon-length and will be a loop course running roughly East-West past Kobe landmarks. A quarter-marathon course (approximately 10.6 km) will be open to the general public. Together, approximately 20,000 participants are expected. Over 160,000 people have applied for the Kobe Marathon in its first two years, and the race has become one of Japan’s leading public marathons.
