On February 25, internationally marathon was held, which had about 36,000 runners from home and abroad, while the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games, which was the most successful one ever for Japan, held its closing ceremony. As marathon was designated to select the runners who will join the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, it received close attention. On that day, the weather, temperature, and wind conditions were perfect for a marathon.  A new record was set for the fastest Japanese runner for the first time in 16 years, making this marathon a memorable one for Japan.
About a hundred runners from overseas, who participated in the 2018 marathon, achieved completion of all the AbbottWMM* marathons.
