“It was not a fast time compared with other people, but I ran hard, so I am satisfied with myself.”

I wrote that I took part in the Sangam Pink Run 5km on October 12, 2025, and completed it in about 40 minutes. I tried to run without walking in the event without timing chip. I had to wait in a long line for the completion finisher medal and souvenirs, but I was satisfied with the result of running hard.

“I ran 5km slowly and FINISH!”

I took part in the 2025 Sangam Pink Run 5km as my first marathon event. It was difficult to run at my own pace because of the narrow course and the large number of participants, but I viewed it as an event held for a charitable cause. I wrote that I enjoyed the booths with colleagues and friends and completed the course slowly.

“After waiting over 20 minutes, I got my finish finisher medal proof photo in one shot!!”

I took part in the 2025 Sangam Pink Run 10km with friends from a study group from my university days. I completed the course after passing the uphill section of course and waited more than 20 minutes to receive finisher medal and refreshments. I wrote that I was happy that everyone who came with me completed the course and that we decided to take part in races together regularly in the future.

“As I participated in the race alone, I quietly enjoyed the event.”

I completed the 2025 Pink Run 10 km in 50 minutes 29 seconds. Starting at the familiar Sangam course, I passed through the bottleneck section and maintained pace, but the uphill section after the turnaround was difficult, and I fell slightly short of my goal of finishing within 50 minutes. I enjoyed the event and booths on my own and noted that there were many finisher souvenirs.

“I was so out of breath that I alternated between running and walking, but this is still a good result, right? ^^;;;;”

At the 2025 Sangam Pink Run, I started in Group B for the 5km and finished by mixing walking and running. Excluding the start delay, I estimated my time at about 42 minutes, and it was an event with no timing chip. The narrow course and the crowds taking commemorative photos made it crowded, and I wrote that I also had to wait a long time to receive the finishers' gift.

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.
