To reward outstanding performances, the Tokyo Marathon has put together prize money totaling nearly $800,000 (approximately RMB 5.44 million) for both the men's and women's fields. This includes placement prizes of $295,000 (≈ RMB 2.02 million) and record bonuses of $500,000 (≈ RMB 3.42 million). Placement prizes 1st place $80,000 (≈ RMB 548,000) 2nd place $30,000 (≈ RMB 206,000) 3rd place $15,000 (≈ RMB 103,000) 4th place $7,000 (≈ RMB 48,000) 5th place $5,000 (≈ RMB 34,000) 6th place $4,000 (≈ RMB 27,000) 7th place $3,000 (≈ RMB 21,000) 8th place $2,000 (≈ RMB 14,000) 9th place $1,000 (≈ RMB 6,850) 10th place $500 (≈ RMB 3,425) Record bonuses Breaking the world record $200,000 (≈ RMB 1.37 million) Breaking the Japanese national record JPY 5,000,000 (≈ RMB 220,000) Breaking the course record $20,000 (≈ RMB 137,000) Given the current start list, the chances of a world record seem slim, but the course and Japanese national records are within reach. With Japanese national record holders Suguru Osako and Kengo Suzuki both in the field, it will be interesting to see whether their head-to-head competition pushes either to an even faster performance.
