TOKYO, Feb 7, 2025 - (JCN Newswire) - TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka) will provide and donate gold, silver, and bronze medals to the top three men and women finishers of the marathon and wheelchair marathon events at the Tokyo Marathon 2025. The Tokyo Marathon 2025 is organized by the Tokyo Marathon Foundation and will be held on March 2, 2025.
Design Representing All the Participants in the Event with Woven Lines
The medals were designed based on the concept of the Tokyo Marathon: The Day We Unite. On the front of the medal, the logo type is placed horizontally above the event logo pattern, which represents “runners, supporters, and cheerers,” to represent the many people who gather and support this event.
On the back side of the medal, the name of the event, Tokyo Marathon 2025, is written in Braille, and the word “FINISHER” and the date of the event are engraved, along with TANAKA’s logo. The medal’s ribbon design is a continuation of the 2016 design and is based on the event logo, which resembles a tapestry of lines woven together to represent all the runners, volunteers, and spectators.
About the Tokyo Marathon 2025
The Tokyo Marathon 2025 is the 18th edition of one of the largest public participation marathons in Japan. As it will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2027, the event strives to be even more exciting for all participants, based on three pillars: “The safest and most secure race in the world,” “The most exciting race in the world,” and “The warmest and most friendly race in the world.” This year, the event has adopted “SPARK!” as the keyword to represent the enthusiasm of everyone, the way each person’s motivation ignites their heart, and how their emotions will explode.
TANAKA has produced the winner medals and finisher medals for every Tokyo Marathon since the first held in 2007, with this year marking the 18th year. The Tokyo Marathon joined the World Marathon Majors (currently the Abbott World Marathon Majors) in 2013, attracting global attention as one of the world’s seven premier marathons. Other than the Tokyo Marathon, TANAKA has also produced medals for the winners of the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon, supported the promotion of para-sports as an official partner of the Japanese Para Sports Association (JPSA), and produced and sold official commemorative medals for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. TANAKA will continue to produce medals made of precious metals and support the promotion of sports with the aim of contributing to the realization of a prosperous society.
