A great marathon! The course is flat & scenic (going around stadiums used in the 1998 Olympics & finishing in the opening/closing ceremony stadium); registration & room reservations are done in English; and now you have all your possible questions about the race answered on my page! Send me an e-mail if I haven't answered one of your questions, and I'll get an answer to you.

    I've volunteered with the Nagano Marathon since 2003 & am training for the 2010 race.

Apologies for this site becoming a cobweb page. The internet service provider in my area claims the circuits are full in my area, so they can’t get me a connection; I’ve been waiting since May 2008. Guess they don’t want my money. So I got an iPhone to get by, am doing all right.

next race: April 2010

Kegon falls, Nikko, Japan.
