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.

It's a midwinter competition. The atmosphere before departure is the coldest.

Wear layers of disposable outerwear and wear gloves and a hat to keep warm.

Since it is a competition with full marathon, an early over pace is the most dangerous.

Start with more time than your goal pace and leave some strength for the second half.

Busan's representative foods are pork soup and wheat noodles, and Haeundae, Gwangalli beaches, and Gamcheon Culture Village are famous.

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