Comment. Perhaps Japanese-language references exist for this event. I am reluctant to delete pre-Internet events purely for lacking good references when good references might be hiding on a reel of microfilmed newspapers somewhere. If the
Fukuoka marathon is or was a notable annual event, the 1953 one might be notable on that basis. Eastmain (

Comment the
Fukuoka Marathon as a whole is definitely notable, but I don't know whether or not individual years get enough coverage beyond the
WP:ROUTINE to make them into anything more than stats dumps. (Also worth noting, in 1953 it was still called the Kanaguri Asahi Marathon). Only source I can find a reference to online is a newspaper article from that year which was included in a book that compiles old news articles. Table of contents online at Japan's National Diet Library
