Tottori Sakyu Conan Airport Runway Early Morning Marathon 2026

Event Overview

The Tottori Sakyu Conan Airport Runway Early Morning Marathon is a dream event for aviation enthusiasts and runners alike. It offers the rare opportunity to run directly on the runways and apron areas—spaces usually strictly off-limits to the public. You can feel the scale of aircraft operations up close. Please note that this is a highly popular event with a strict capacity of only 200 participants.

Highlights

The biggest draw is the extraordinary sensation of running on an actual runway. The feeling of freedom as you sprint across the vast expanse of the airport is something you can only experience here. Since it takes place in the early morning, you can enjoy the crisp, clear air and a special atmosphere. Participants may also receive special prizes as part of the fun.
