Feel the rush!
Running for charity is the most rewarding way of running a marathon! All registered Tokyo Marathon 2008 runners will have the opportunity to raise money for the Shine On House as part of a Country Team or as an Individual.
Run for your Country
If you’re British, then why not run for Britain! If your spouse was born in Japan, step up and run for Japan! If you used to work for a Canadian company, then run for Canada! The choice is yours. By registering as part of a Country Team, you’ll be able to run for the country of your choice. See below for a list of criteria to help you select the right team for you.
