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.

In October, morning temperatures drop considerably.

Bring an outer layer for departure, and if you are wearing short sleeves, keep your initial body temperature at arm sleeves.

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 Seoul. Check the latest official information before the race.
