History

Garmin, a world leader in GPS and wearable technology, has long been a trusted companion for runners, cyclists, and fitness enthusiasts. Over the past decade, the company has built a strong community of athletes through innovation and dedication to health-focused technology.

The Garmin Run event series began as a way to unite this growing community — encouraging runners of all skill levels to come together, celebrate fitness, and set new goals. Originating in Asia and expanding globally, Garmin Run has become an annual highlight for runners who trust Garmin to guide their performance.

In Japan, Garmin Run has become more than just a race — it’s a celebration of endurance, technology, and motivation. Participants get to experience not only the thrill of running but also the support of an international brand that shares their passion for active living.

Overview

The Garmin Run Japan 2026 will be held in mid-January 2026 at Rinko Park in Yokohama and Ajinomoto Stadium in Chofu City, Tokyo, featuring both 5K and 10K routes, as well as a special relay event. The event welcomes thousands of participants aiming to challenge their limits, meet fellow runners, and enjoy the unique combination of sports and innovation that Garmin brings.

This year’s event will feature three race categories — the Forerunner 5K, Forerunner 265 Relay, and Forerunner 10K — each designed for different levels of runners. Participants can use their own Garmin devices to track personal times, as there will be no automatic timing system on-site. The atmosphere is electric, filled with motivation, community spirit, and scenic running routes.
