The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami meant that the Nagoya International Women's Marathon (a qualifier for the 2011 World Championships) was cancelled and a sympathetic agreement between the London race organisers and the Japan Association of Athletics Federations resulted in London taking the role of the cancelled Nagoya race.〔Okey, Nicola (2011-03-23).
