第103回東京箱根間往復大学駅伝競走

Keep this event with your plans.
What to know before you go.
The race is spread along a long public-road route, so watching in person means choosing a particular stage and viewing location. Passing runners offer only a brief part of a much larger contest. Use the organizer’s course information and local traffic guidance to plan that point, and follow officials’ directions around crossings and spectator areas.
Event dates, access and crowd controls can change. Verify with the organizer before committing non-refundable travel.
