“Volunteers handed out water and cheered at various points along the course, which really helped me.”

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 the start.

Because the race includes a half marathon, start the first 5 km more conservatively than your target, and the key is holding pace after 15 km.

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