　The Tokyo Marathon 2020, which also served as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Japan National Team Player Selection Event “Marathon Grand Championship (MGC) Final Challenge”, was held on March 1 on a course from Tokyo Metropolitan Government to Tokyo Station and Yukiyuki Street. Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the participation was limited to approximately 200 elite runner frame players, including last year's tournament champion Billhanu Regse (Ethiopia), who had a self-record of 2 hours, 2 minutes and 48 seconds. Without general runners recruited with a capacity of 38,000 people, the size of the tournament was reduced, such as reviewing the number of volunteers and the number of volunteers, and the number of volunteers.

Near Nihonbashi 10 km before, Daihito Inoue and Suguru Osako attached right behind the pacemaker and passed in the leading group.　　　　　　　　　　　　　In the race, Billhanu Legsse achieved the second consecutive victory in 2 hours 4 minutes 15 seconds, and Osako finished fourth in Japan's top 2 hours 5 minutes 29 seconds, setting his own Japanese record. It was the most promising candidate for the frame. The final representative will be determined based on the results of the Lake Biwa Main Day Marathon, which will be held on the 8th as the final race of the final challenge.　In addition, Osako, who has set a new record in Japan, will receive a second reward of 100 million yen from Project EXCEED, a Japan Business Federation Athletics Federation Marathon Japan Revival Project.
