Transit card

This is a trail race at Sinjeongho Lake with no station right at the venue. The nearest rail point is Onyang-oncheon Station on the Janghang Line, then a local bus (20-30 minute intervals) or a roughly 15-minute taxi ride to the lake area.

T-money works on Asan city buses and can be recharged at any convenience store; a taxi from the station is the simplest option for race-day timing.

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.

In October, morning temperatures drop considerably.

Bring an outer layer for departure, and if you are wearing short sleeves, keep your initial body temperature at arm sleeves.

The distance is short so the burden is not great, but as long as you watch out for the initial over pace, it is enough to complete the course.

Asan is famous for Onyang Hot Springs, so it is a great place to relieve fatigue after a competition.

Oeam Folk Village and Hyeonchungsa Temple are also worth a visit.

Times are local to Asan. Check the latest official information before the race.
