More details

Getting to the start

Start/finish at Gudeurae Ferry Wharf / Gudeurae Sculpture Park on the Baengma River. Buyeo has NO train station (nearest KTX/rail is Nonsan, ~20km away); runners arrive via intercity bus to Buyeo Bus Terminal, then taxi (~10-15 min) or a ~2km walk.

Per prior edition (2025, held Nov 9)

Getting to the finish

Same venue as start (riverside park loop course).

Start shuttle

Organizer provides round-trip shuttle buses only for pre-registered groups of 30+, between the group's home locality and the venue — not a general public shuttle from a station.

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.

November mornings are chilly.

Bring a throwaway layer or a heat-sheet poncho for waiting at the start, and race in light clothing.

With full marathon on the program, going out too fast early (an over pace) is the biggest risk.

Start slower than your goal pace and save something for the second half.

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