Join HOPE International Development Agency at the 2025 Osaka Marathon!

We are thrilled to announce that HOPE International Development Agency has once again been accepted as an "Approved Charity" for the 2025 Osaka Marathon, scheduled for February 24th, 2025.


In our inaugural year, 2024, HOPE had 11 dedicated runners and successfully raised 3.7 million yen.


For 2025, we aim to double that achievement!


However, we need to act quickly as the deadline for charity runners is in October, and spots are limited. Our goal is to sign up 30 runners soon.

Run for Water, Run for HOPE!

Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a first-time runner, this is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact while getting some exercise.

As a Runner, You Will Receive:

  • Special access to the Charity Runner Indoor Prep Area, including bento, drinks, and more.
  • The satisfaction of knowing your run is making a real difference.
  • Official Marathon T-shirt plus a Charity Runner T-shirt


We are aiming for 30 runners in 2025 and also need volunteers to help with registration and hospitality.


If you are interested in running, please let us know ASAP and we will send you the step by step instructions on how to sign up via the Marathon website as a Charity Runner for HOPE along with other important information.


While the stated deadline for Charity Runners is Oct 16th, we expect the 1,000 allocated places to fill much sooner.
