The event carries the name 'Meisui' (pure water) in recognition of the famous hot spring region of Kurobe and highlights its scenic beauty. The route runs along the Kurobe River, through the Ikuji springs, and past the Kurobe-Unazukionsen station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen line – a scenic highlight for participants ([runningcoach.me](https://runningcoach.me/en/events/kurobe-meisui-marathon?utm_source=openai)).

The history of this marathon can be traced back to earlier editions, with the name Carter Memorial indicating a historical connection or dedication that is representative of the event's tradition. Exact information regarding the inaugural event is currently not available on publicly accessible pages. Data on the weather conditions from the previous year (May 2025) is also not listed at this time.

The program includes a variety of distances: the marathon (42.195 km), 10 km run, 5 km run, and a wheelchair race over 7.3 km.
