훈늘쓰Ran in 2026 · Finish time 1:10

“I finished in 1 hour 10 minutes, and my husband finished in 54 minutes!”

The runner ran the Green Umbrella Runway 10K with her husband at Daejeon Expo Civic Square on September 12, 2026. She finished her second 10K in 1:10 and said the finisher certificate wasn't displayed at first, but the issue was quickly resolved after she flagged it to a staff member on site.

The runner took part in her first 10K of 2026 with a junior colleague at Daejeon Expo Citizens' Plaza and finished in 1:14:24. The last 3K was tough, but she ran the whole way without walking, and had her finisher medal engraved to mark the achievement.

“Successfully finished in under 40 minutes!!!”

The runner ran the 2026 Daejeon Green Umbrella Runway 5km and achieved their goal of finishing within 40 minutes. They were late getting ready in the morning, so hurried to the event venue, and recorded receiving a medal along with various snacks and dolls.

나나Ran in 2026 · Finish time 2:10

“It took 2 hours 10 minutes.”

Nana finished the Daejeon Chorok Usan Runway half marathon on September 12, 2026, in 2:10. She liked the flat course along the stream and the cool weather, but found the width of the bike path and the distance markers lagging behind her watch's reading tough going.

호두부부Ran in 2026 · Finish time 20:22

“I set another personal best today!”

She ran the 2026 Green Umbrella Runway 5K with her husband, setting a personal best of 20:22 and taking first place among the women. Nerves got to her before the race, but her husband's pacing talked her through it, and she finished with an award and a custom-engraved medal to show for it.

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.

September is cool in the morning and hot during the day.

Bring a light jacket and a hat to take off before departure.

Since it is a competition with a limit of half marathon, the key is to start with more time than your target for the first 5 km, and maintain pace after 15 km.

Daejeon is famous nationwide for its Seongsimdang bakery.

Hanbat Arboretum and Expo Science Park are also great places to visit.

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