I know they have corrals based on your reported time. My question is, for those who have tried to run a 3 hour/sub 3 hour *at* the Tokyo marathon, how much fighting is involved in the early stages before you get enough space to where you can be on cruise mode? I'm borderline 3 hour. I'm trying to see if it's worth a try at sub-3 there. At Boston, you pretty much hit your pace from the beginning. At other big city races, I'm fighting with walkers at the start but can cruise after mile 1 or 2. Tokyo is the biggest race that I'll be racing.
For all of the haters out there, I got a slot via my first try at the lottery :)
