Porsche's fully electric vehicle, the EV Macan, will lead the Tokyo Marathon 2025

Porsche Japan signs three-year contract as official partner of the Tokyo Marathon

It may still be fresh in our memory that Porsche's fully electric Taycan was used as the lead car for the Tokyo Marathon 2024.

It has been announced that the car that will lead the Tokyo Marathon 2025 will be the same Porsche fully electric car, the Macan model.

Porsche Japan has signed a three-year contract with the Tokyo Marathon Foundation to become an official partner of the Tokyo Marathon.

Incidentally, Porsche was also used as the referee's car at the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon 2024, held on Sunday, October 20, 2024.

Porsche will be the official car of the Tokyo Marathon for three years from 2025 to 2027.

As someone who already gets excited when I see a Porsche driving by, it's fantastic to think that I'll be able to enjoy a Porsche wrapped as a marathon lead car at the Tokyo Marathon for the next three years.

I'm also happy that the Porsche will be seen by many people who will be running and spectating the Tokyo Marathon! (←What is that (lol)?)

The car that will lead the Tokyo Marathon 2025 will be the new all-electric Macan, which was just announced in January 2024. It will also run as a timekeeper and a referee for the entire route.

An EV vehicle would definitely be a good choice as a lead car in a marathon.
Are the players happy because there are no exhaust fumes?

It would be a great picture if the leading car was a 911, but the new hybrid GTS can't run on battery power alone, so that's a shame...

  The lack of exhaust fumes is great for the athletes! It's so quiet that they probably won't even notice if someone follows behind them (like a watch or the referee's car).
  
  If the 911 takes the lead, a new world record for the marathon may be set! (← the leading car is going faster (lol)).

    Well, 911 has to lead the way after all (laughs).
    Maybe the players will try too hard and collapse? (laughs)

      I would like to see a world where 9/11 is the leader.
      
      It seems like it would be difficult in reality...!

Good morning.
Actually, I am training to participate in the Tokyo Marathon. I cut down my drinking from four times a week to two times a week and run every day. I am particular about shoes, and I tried four pairs of shoes from Nike, NB, and Asics, but I was rejected in the lottery (crying). By the way, the competition rate was more than 10 times.
The time limit was within 6.5 hours, and we had to pass all 9 checkpoints within the time limit. I heard from a female business partner and my brother that if we didn't pass the checkpoints, we would be forced to be taken to a yellow bus called a recovery vehicle. If we were to be recovered, I would like the option of an EV Macan (lol).
In reality, I hope that in 2026 I will be able to realize my sneaky plan of leaving the race near Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, about 13km from the race, and taking a shower in my own room at the Mandarin!

Sorry for the poor writing.

  What!! Are you planning to participate in the Tokyo Marathon?
  
  It's amazing that you run every day. Amazing!!
  
  If you are ever detained, please come just one block away from the closed and restricted road, and we will call 911 to pick you up and take you to Mandarin (lol).
  
  First of all, I hope I win the lottery to participate in the Tokyo Marathon!! I'm looking forward to 2026!
