Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
This is a trail/backyard-ultra style event at a mountain fortress on the outskirts of Namwon, genuinely rural and car-dependent - there is no nearby subway and city bus service to Sangok-dong is infrequent (routes 1, 1-3, 2, 2-1 pass nearby). The practical approach is to take a taxi from Namwon Intercity Bus Terminal to the trailhead, or drive; most participants arrive by car.
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.
Namwon is known for chueotang, and Gwanghalluwon Garden, the setting of Chunhyangjeon, is its signature attraction.
Times are local to Namwon. Check the latest official information before the race.
