Ambassador's Message

I first learned about CARE in 2020. At that time, I was surprised to learn that post-war Japan had received assistance from CARE. Japan is at peace today, but there are many people around the world who have forgotten how to smile because they spend their days with anxiety due to war, conflict, and poverty.
A smile is contagious, isn't it? It has a power to make those around us smile too.
Through the Tokyo Marathon 2025 Charity, why don’t we bring smiles to the faces of refugees, women and children in developing countries who are experiencing difficulties?
And why don’t’ you run the Tokyo Marathon 2025 with a smile on your face?
Let's respond to the voices of support with a smile, a voice, and a wave, and spread the circle of smiles along the road in Tokyo, throughout Japan, and all over the world.

Mr. Motoyuki Ohtake

CARE Charity Runner Support

We, the staff and volunteers, will work together through these fun activities and events,
We will do our best to welcome and support all charity runners!

Online Event・EXPO Booth

At our online event, race veterans will be sharing notes and personal experiences from the marathon to help this year’s participants achieve race-day success. Runners are welcome to share and receive guidance on any pre-race concerns during this event, with advice made available in both English and Japanese. We will also be running a booth at the EXPO on race-day, where we will be handing out special CARE branded items to participants.

Reception Party

We will be hosting a special gathering for charity runners and CARE staff! It will be an opportunity to enjoy Tokyo’s cuisine while getting to know our staff and fellow charity runners from all over the world. We also hope to provide insight into CARE and share some information about our work.

CARE Cheer Squad・Charity Lounge

On race-day, a team organized by CARE will be cheering you along from the roadside! After finishing, charity runners are invited to rest and enjoy drinks and snacks with their families, partners and friends at our charity lounge.

Participant's Voice

Running with CARE is my first time participating in a charity run, and the experience has been amazing. Your team has been very communicative, positive, and encouraging, which makes me proud to run for this organization.
CARE's mission is clear, especially the part about focusing on women and children (girls) in Ukraine, which resonated with me, being Polish. I think CARE’s clear explanation of where and how much money will be spent will be very helpful for those who don't know where to donate or what to expect from an organization.
