About the race
The only Abbott Major in Asia, a fast, immaculately organized loop through Tokyo. Early March.
Typical weather
March is spring racing weather: mild but unpredictable, with a real chance of wind, rain, or a surprise warm spell.
Who it favors
A flat road race rewards even pacing and threshold endurance. It is a fitness test with nowhere to hide, so the runner who resists going out too fast is usually the one who sets a personal best.
