(Head office: Chuo-ku Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka) will provide and donate gold, silver, and bronze medals to the top three finishers in the half marathon (elite athletes) and elite para-athletes (wheelchair and visual impairment) award categories at the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon 2025. The Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon 2025 is organized by the Tokyo Marathon Foundation and will be held on October 19, 2025. *If the top three finishers above have a guide runner, a medal will also be provided to the guide runner.
Medals Symbolizing the 2025 Event Concept of “Authentic”
The medals were designed based on the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon’s desire to expand running opportunities to everyone, including those who have never run before, and to create an event where anyone can participate.
On the front side, the design features the event title “Tokyo Legacy Half 2025” engraved at the center of a pattern interwoven with flowing curves. The design, with its strong presence, symbolizes the 2025 event’s catchphrase “TOKYO AUTHENTIC,” while the flowing curves represent the unique running trails of each individual runner.
On the reverse side, “Tokyo Legacy Half 2025” is expressed in Braille, along with TANAKA’s logo, the word “FINISHER,” and the date of the event. The medal ribbon was designed with the event logo motif, which resembles a tapestry woven from individual lines representing each runner, volunteer, and spectator.
