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 midsummer race, and heat and humidity are big factors.

Even with an early start, don't skip water stations, and don't chase an ambitious time.

With distances up to half marathon, start the first 5km more conservatively than your goal pace;

holding pace after 15km is the key.

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