Is this the 2027 course?

The organizer's 2027 race information lists the same route as 2026, from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to Tokyo Station and Gyoko-dori, and its 2027 course page still shows the 2026 map. This map follows them; we'll update it if the organizer publishes a change.

Is Race Together the official Tokyo Marathon site?

No. Race Together is an independent spectator map, not affiliated with the Tokyo Marathon. For road closures and race-day updates, see marathon.tokyo/en.
