오롯이Ran in 2025

“I couldn't feel proud because of the disappointing time, but I guess I should be satisfied just finishing safely without getting hurt, right?^^”

The runner ran the 2025 Ansan 10K as her third race. She wrote that it was hard to pass on the narrow road and the gravel stretch on the way back was tough, but she was happy with the sea views and finishing safely.

“Because a separate record for 5km was not available, I checked it using RunDay!”

The runner took part in the 2025 Ansan Marathon 5km with the runner's family. When the shuttle service stopped, the runner and the family ran and walked from the parking lot to the venue, but arrived in time for the start. After finishing, they enjoyed the performances and food.

“I completed the 5 km in 46 minutes!”

The runner took part in the Ansan Marathon for the third year and completed 5km in 46 minutes. Although the shuttle service suspension and confusion in the event information were inconvenient, the runner wrote that the course sports drink and the finisher medal and food area at the venue were good.

딤연둥Ran in 2025 · Finish time 58:10

“The result was 58 minutes 10 seconds, 10 seconds slower than my first marathon‼️”

Following up on 2024, the runner ran the 2025 Ansan Marathon 10K and finished in 58:10. The mostly gentle course was a plus, but the gravel stretch over the final 2K or so was uncomfortable, and they dealt with waits for parking, the shuttle, and the restrooms.

“It was extremely difficult, but I still finished without walking!!!”

The runner took part in the 2025 Ansan Marathon 10 km for the first time and finished without walking after two months of training. The sunlight and fatigue after 6 km were difficult, and the runner experienced the final sand and gravel road and waiting to have the finisher medal engraved.

넘 힘들었지만 그래도 안걷고 완주 성공!!!

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

September is cool in the morning and hot during the day.

Bring a light jacket and a hat to take off before departure.

Since this is a competition with a limit of half marathon,

the key is to start with more time than your target for the first 5 km, and maintain pace after 15 km.

Times are local to Ansan-dong. Check the latest official information before the race.
