The Tottori Marathon, a major sporting event representing Tottori Prefecture, was held for the first time in five years. Starting at the Tottori Sand Dunes, participants were able to enjoy a varied one-way course that took them to historical sites and scenic spots such as the ruins of Tottori Castle and Manyo no Sato. Along the way, participants could enjoy beautiful rapeseed fields and vast rural landscapes, feeling the rich nature of Tottori while running. The Tottori Marathon, where participants can experience both historical romance and beautiful scenery at the same time, went beyond the framework of a sporting event and was a valuable opportunity to experience the charm of Tottori.
