Alongside walking and a range of activities, you can reflect on the history of ginseng and the independence movement, as well as the spirit of Baekbeom.

Entry fee All proceeds will be donated to the Korean Liberation Association in the participants’ names,

and a prize draw will also offer prizes worth up to 1,000,000 won.

Where and when to collect your 인삼런 race bib

So on race morning, you can just run.

From the 2025 edition
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.

October mornings are fairly cool.

Bring a layer for the start area, and if you plan to race in a short-sleeved top, use arm sleeves to stay warm during the early stages.

The short distance makes it manageable, and a finish is well within reach as long as you avoid an early over pace.

It is a relaxed race, but if you want to keep running consistently, take a look at the Training Plan tab.
