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

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

“I ran 5km slowly and FINISH!”

The runner took part in the 2025 Sangam Pink Run 5km as a first marathon event. It was difficult to run at their own pace because of the narrow course and the large number of participants, but they viewed it as an event held for a charitable cause. They wrote that they 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!!”

The runner took part in the 2025 Sangam Pink Run 10km with friends from a study group from their university days. The runner completed the course after passing the uphill section of the course and waited more than 20 minutes to receive medals and refreshments. The runner wrote that they were happy that everyone who came with them completed the course and that they decided to take part in races together regularly in the future.

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

The runner completed the 2025 Pink Run 10 km in 50 minutes 29 seconds. Starting at the familiar Sangam course, the runner passed through the bottleneck section and maintained a steady pace, but the uphill section after the turnaround was difficult, and the runner fell slightly short of the goal of finishing within 50 minutes. The runner enjoyed the event and booths alone 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, the runner started in Group B for the 5km and finished by mixing walking and running. Excluding the start delay, the runner estimated the 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 the runner wrote that a long wait was also required to receive the finishers' gift.

Runners start · local time — 08:00 ~ 08:10 (10km starts first, then 5km)

10km: Starting from Peace Square → Lawn Square → Sky Park World Cup Overpass → Sky Stairs (right) → Sky Park → Noeul Park Entrance → Noeul Park → Near Noeul Stairs turnaround point → Sky Park Entrance → Sky Park World Cup Overpass → Grass Plaza → Peace Square finish. 5km: Sky Stairs (left) → Metasequoia Road → 2.5km return

Pink Run is the running event of the Pink Ribbon Campaign, held to raise awareness of breast health.

It is co-hosted by the Korea Breast Health Foundation, the Korean Breast Cancer Society,

the Korean Cancer Association and the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family.

The full entry fee is donated to the foundation's breast cancer prevention and treatment programs.

Runners' participation turns into support and donations for the campaign, and anyone in good health can join regardless of gender.

The event expresses its support for women's healthy futures through a run in a Seoul park.

The venue is Sangam World Cup Park.

Both the 5km and 10km start at Peace Plaza, pass the Lawn Plaza and cross the World Cup footbridge.

After the footbridge, the routes head toward Haneul Park and the scenery differs by event.

The 5km goes left at the Haneul Stairs onto the Metasequoia Road,

rounds turnaround point in the tree-lined section and returns the same way, running through the forest paths at the foot of the park.

The 10km goes right at the Haneul Stairs into Haneul Park and Noeul Park, rounds turnaround point near the Noeul Park stairs,

then returns past the Haneul Park access road and the footbridge to Peace Plaza.

The two events share the start and finish but run different routes in the park: the longer one links the climb into the park with its upper areas,

while the shorter one centers on the out-and-back along the Metasequoia Road.

Your choice of distance changes how you experience this park in western Seoul.

More details

Getting to the start

World Cup Stadium Station (Seoul Subway Line 6) — Exit 1 or 2 lead directly into World Cup Park toward the Peace Plaza

Venue is Sangam World Cup Park, Peace Plaza, start 8:00 AM, 10km and 5km courses, capped at 5,000 runners. Straightforward subway access via Line 6 World Cup Stadium Station.

Getting to the finish

Same venue/area as start (Peace Plaza, World Cup Park)

World Cup Park has a large car park (~1,162 spaces) but subway is recommended given event-day crowding.

Start shuttle

Parking is available at the venue, the Peace Plaza lot in Sangam World Cup Park, but it gets crowded, so organizers ask you to use public transit where possible. By subway, it is about a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of World Cup Stadium Station (Line 6); by bus, get off at Mapo Agricultural & Marine Products Market Station or World Cup Park Station and walk about 3 minutes.

The Mapo Agricultural & Marine Products Market parking lot cannot be used.

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.

Following the official guidelines, wear the race T-shirt and bib and head to the assembly area.

Bib will not be reissued, so decide in advance where you'll keep it and take it with you before you leave.

Pre-race souvenirs are shipped in stages according to separate delivery notices, so check your entry details and shipping information.

The assembly area is Peace Plaza in Sangam World Cup Park;

set Peace Plaza as your destination so you don't end up at a different park entrance.

The official FAQ says the Peace Plaza car park is available but recommends public transport because of congestion and safety.

The Mapo Agricultural and Fishery Market car park cannot be used, so leave it out of your plans.

For accommodation, compare options in the Sangam area, which is a short trip from Peace Plaza.

If you feel unwell on site, ask the medical team or event staff for help.

On course, follow the safety staff's directions, and don't cover bib so staff can check it.

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