Description:The Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon is a historic road race in Oita, Japan, known as one of Japan's three classic marathons. It starts in front of Takasakiyama and Umitamago in Oita City and finishes at the Oita City Athletic Stadium. The event is open to both male and female runners who meet specific marathon time qualifications, making it a challenging race for experienced athletes and a gateway for new talent.

The Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon is a historic event founded in 1952 during the post-war reconstruction period. It began with the proposal to host a national competition locally to pave the way for the Olympics. Initially a 35km course, it transitioned to a full marathon the following year and is now known as one of Japan's three major classic races. Many famous athletes have set records here, and it is also called a "gateway for newcomers."
