The 2026 Geumsusan Trail Running Race tests your limits in the great outdoors of Chungcheongbuk-do.

Because this is a trail race on rugged mountain paths, you should run with a partner who can help look after both runners' safety.

Leave the city behind and share the excitement of crossing forests and valleys with a reliable companion.

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 competition. Heat and humidity are big variables.

Even if you start early, don't skip the water and avoid being too greedy for recording.

The distance is short so the burden is not great, but as long as you watch out for the initial over pace, it is enough to complete the course.

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