Ready-made plans
Gyoko-dori
Adult support crewThe outline names the finish and the start. It does not publish kilometre marks for the places in between, so this plan does not invent them.

Toei Oedo Line, Tochomae
Start on the outline. Mile 0 is the gun, not a spectator pen.
Mile 26.2
Gyoko-dori, Tokyo Station
JR Tokyo Station
Finish on the outline. Marathon cutoff is 7 hours from 9:10am, so 4:10pm.

Mile 0
Kaminarimon
Asakusa stations
Kaminarimon is on the course list. The outline gives no kilometre, so the mile is left at 0 rather than guessed. Use it only as a place name.
Mile 26.2
Gyoko-dori
JR Tokyo Station
Finish. Wheelchair start 9:05am, cutoff 2 hours 30 minutes on the outline.

Date, start, finish and the place list are from the Tokyo Marathon 2027 outline, opened 4 November 2026. There is no course atlas because that page did not publish a GPX or an elevation profile.
