Does anyone know what is the maximum time allowed for completion of the full marathon in Tokyo before the roads are re-opened?

Graham & Brent. You only have access to the gun-time now. As you can read on the Tokyo Marathon site: ‘Time records are unofficial and for reference purpose only.”

The chip time will be published later, and be on your final certificate that will be mailed to you.

Must admit, that I’m getting impatient about the chip time/certificate though
Happy Running,
B

Graham your comments need to be voiced in the masses for I feel that the chip time was well off he mark as well. The organization was tremendous and my belongings were dry and easy to obtain at the finish which was a remarkable feat considering the horrible weather.

I just had a look at my time for running the Tokyo 2010 Marathon, and I was quite dissappointed to see that no adjustment has been made for the time each individual runner crossed the start line. It appears that all the finishing times are based off a start time of 09.10 (the official race start). But unless you are in the elite group this is ludicrous. What is the point in wearing the chip times if the data is not used properly? Although I have my own time from my watch I still don’t know my official race time.

It’s a bit frustrating, escpecially when everything else was so well organised (water, food stops, marshalling, post race activities etc etc)
