How much money do I have to raise and who pays my entry fee?

1. Fundraising Commitment

You are required to raise a minimum donation amount for YKPM’s community programs. This target varies based on:

  • Event type/prestige (e.g., standard fun run vs. international marathon).
  • Bib rarity (e.g., limited-entry races like the Tokyo Marathon require higher targets).
  • Program urgency (e.g., disaster relief campaigns may have elevated goals).

➔ The payment model is event-specific and will be confirmed when your bib application is approved.

What if I don’t meet my fundraising obligation?

A: While we provide robust support to help you succeed, we understand circumstances can change.
