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.

June marks the start of the midday heat.

Prepare breathable clothing, a hat and sunscreen, and save some energy in the early pace.

Since the race includes the half marathon, start the first 5 km more conservatively than your target pace;

maintaining pace after 15 km is the key.

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