Saw this in the London Running News newspaper I picked up at the London Marathon Expo, when I went to pick up my number for this year's race.
From website:
Win a place in the 2014 Tokyo Marathon
Run in one of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the world where the world’s top runners intermingle with ordinary citizens in the style of the ING New York City Marathon and Virgin London Marathons!!
Answer the question below for your chance to be a part of the the 6th and very latest Marathon Major.
From newspaper:
But we're not just offering entry to what has recently become the World's 6th Marathon Major, we're offering flights, hotel accommodation, transfer and race entry too, so that you and a friend can enjoy the running holiday of a lifetime.
Competition here.
Question: How many people applied to enter the 2013 Tokyo Marathon?
A. Less than 100,000
B. Between 100,000 and 200,000
C. Over 300,000 :j (from newspaper)
Email: [EMAIL="tim@sportstoursinternational.co.uk"]tim@sportstoursinternational.co.uk[/EMAIL] with your answer.
Good luck to all. Also, good luck to those that are entering the London Marathon. Look out for me in the tap costume, running for WaterAid.
:eek: Remember: keep your pace and you'll finish the race. Believe in yourself.

Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there?

the 2013 Tokyo Marathon was on Sunday, February 24, 2013 - I assume this is for next years race on 23 Feb 2014?

Yes, amsquared, it is.
Another thing:the newspaper contradicts itself, as the blurb has information on how many people applied for 2014 Tokyo Marathon, but the question relates to the previous year.
Rest assured everyone that the answer is correct, as I entered the competition at the Expo and was told the answer before I even began to fill out the entry form!Life's what you make it....
