So on race morning, you can just run.
The Packet Pickup format for the Daejeon Shin Chae-ho Marathon has not been announced.
Daejeon has only one subway line and it does not reach Ppuri Park directly; take Subway Line 1 then transfer to city bus, or take bus routes 312/313 (to Ppuri Park) directly to the park. No organizer shuttle bus found in searches.
Per 2nd edition, 2026-11-01, 08:30 start. City should be Daejeon (Jung-gu).
Same location as start (loop/out-and-back course ending at Ppuri Park lawn plaza).
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
Mornings are chilly in November.
Bring a throwaway layer or a heat-sheet to wear while waiting at the start, and dress light for the run.
Since the race goes up to the half marathon, hold back and start the first 5 km slower than your goal pace;
the key is holding your pace after 15 km.
Daejeon is famous nationwide for Seongsimdang bakery.
Hanbat Arboretum and Expo Science Park are also worth a visit.
Times are local to Daejeon. Check the latest official information before the race.
