description Sapporo Marathon Overview
The Sapporo Marathon is an annual road-running event held in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, Japan. Despite its name, its principal race is a half marathon rather than the 42.195-kilometre marathon distance, and the program also includes shorter events. The race is generally held in autumn, when Hokkaido's northern climate gives runners cooler conditions than many summer road races in Japan.
