The2015Tokyo Marathon (Japanese:東京マラソン 2015) was the ninth edition of the annualmarathon race inTokyo, Japan and was held on Sunday, 22 February. AnIAAF Gold Label Road Race, it was the firstWorld Marathon Majors event to be held that year and represented the third occasion that the Tokyo race was part of the elite-level marathon series.

The elite race winners were both from Ethiopia – the first such time that athletes from the same nation won the men's and women's division.Endeshaw Negesse was just over twenty seconds off the course record with 2:06:00 hours whileBerhane Dibaba took the women's title in 2:23:15. It was the first major marathon win for both athletes, although Berhane Dibaba had been runner-up in Tokyo the previous year. The reigning Olympic and world championStephen Kiprotich was runner-up in the men's race andDickson Chumba was third, failing to defend his title. The women's podium was rounded out byHelah Kiprop (2014 winner of theSeoul International Marathon) and reigning Olympic championTiki Gelana. The 2014 women's champion,Tirfi Tsegaye did not return to defend her title. The fastest home athletes both finished in seventh position overall:Masato Imai in the men's andMadoka Ogi in the women's division.^[1]
