Tokyo Will Be Added as Sixth Major Race.

The article reports on the addition of Tokyo Marathon in Japan in the World Marathon Majors. It is inferred that Tokyo's marathon, which was previously an elite-only race, has been included in the event because it has become one of the largest and most lucrative races in the world. Tokyo's marathon features about 300,000 participants, in which about 10% is from overseas. The addition of Tokyo will imply that three 3 marathons will take place at the beginning of the year and 3 in the fall.
