Your odds

Field of 40,000. The organizer announced on 14 Aug 2026 that general entry had exceeded the field size on its opening day, so places are decided by random drawing, with results scheduled for 18 Sept 2026 via My Entry. No applicant count has been published for the 2027 race as of 8 Sept 2026; the general ballot has historically been oversubscribed roughly 10 to 1 (unofficial). ONE TOKYO GLOBAL membership adds a separate earlier draw
