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 unrealistic time.

Since this race includes half marathon, start the first 5 km conservatively, with room below your target, and focus on maintaining pace after 15 km.

Pyeongchang is known for Korean beef and buckwheat.

Daegwallyeong and Woljeongsa Temple on Odaesan Mountain are good places to visit after the race.

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