참참.Ran in 2025

“They gave us chicken and beer after the race, so we ate, chatted, and watched people dancing. It was so much fun!”

In the Danyang Moonlight Race 10km, heat and the final climb slowed the runner below their usual time. They placed 12th in the couples' run with their wife, won a prize, and enjoyed chicken, beer, and a dance show afterward.

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.

This is a midsummer race, so heat and humidity are major factors.

Even with the early start, don’t skip hydration, and avoid chasing an overly ambitious time.

The distance is manageable, and you should be able to finish as long as you avoid an early pace surge.

Danyang is famous for garlic and boasts spectacular scenery among the Eight Scenic Views of Danyang, including Dodamsambong Peaks and Mancheonha Skywalk.

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