In Beppu Oita Mainichi marathon (then Beppu marathon) in 1952 during the postwar reconstruction period, Mr. Yasuo Ikenaka (deceased) from Nakatsu city, Oita Prefecture, who served as coach for the Olympic representative, said, “To open the way to the Olympics I would like to hold a nationwide competition locally in the city. ”

Initially it started ahead of Beppu station, it was a 35 km course that folded Shiraki Oita city.
In the following 53 year twice tournament it is changed to a full marathon. It began to be called Japan’s three major classic races with the “Biwa Lake Mainichi Marathon” (then Mainichi Marathon), which began in 46 years, and the “Fukuoka International Marathon” (then Asahi Marathon) that began in 1974.

In the 12th tournament tournament, Toru Terazawa establishes the world record of 2 hours 15 minutes 15 seconds 8, which is 0 second 4 more than Abebe’s record.
This record is the last marathon world record recorded by Japanese athletes in the domestic race.

Started in front of Takasakiyama · Umitamago in Oita city from the event for 10 years 59 times and changed significantly to the course to finish to Oita municipal track and field stadium. From the next 60 tournaments, the marathon was relaxed within 3 hours and 30 minutes, and the girls also opened the door.
