The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has hosted the first race in which runners climbed stairs to the observation deck of its building.
About 1,600 entrants ran up 984 steps from the second floor to the 45th floor, a climb of 202 meters.
Competitors were split into groups at the start of Sunday's event. They caught their breath and got a drink at water stations on the 14th and 25th floors.
After a brief rest, some were seen enjoying the view of Tokyo from the observation deck.
A participant in her 20s said she was confident about her physical endurance because she had worked as a beer vendor, but the race was so hard that she wanted to drop out. She said she was happy to have finished, thanks to other people cheering her on.
