Hakodate Marathon is an early summer tradition in Hokkaido, featuring full and half marathon courses that wind through iconic sights like the historic red brick warehouses. The full marathon has a 6-hour time limit, while the half marathon's flat course attracts elite runners annually. Spectators line the urban streets to cheer runners on, and aid stations serve local Hakodate and Dōnan cuisine to fuel participants.
