어쩌다공대생Ran in 2025 · Finish time 52:23
“Pyeongtaek Port is a flat course without uphill sections, so I was able to run well without any problems!”
Unable to train for three weeks because of illness, the runner still set a personal best of 52:23 at the Pyeongtaek Port 10K. They used the group booth and praised the flat course, the festival-like atmosphere after finishing, and the traffic control for the trip home.
“Finisher certificate came out at 1 hour 1 minute 52 seconds:)”
The couple took part in the 10km, avoided going too fast at the start, and gave it their all over the final 2km. The time according to the official certificate was 1 hour 1 minute 52 seconds, and the runner explained that it was difficult to move forward because access to parking was restricted and participants were crowded together.
The runner was anxious because they had not trained enough, but followed the runner ahead and ran 10km to set a personal best of 56 minutes 33 seconds. The runner remembered the feeling of running across the bridge and the strong sunlight, and thanked the runner who helped them after they finished.
“Still, I felt good after finishing and receiving finisher medal~~”
lullu0907 ran a first 5K race with her older sister and finished it under strong sun. She enjoyed a course different from her usual track and noted that her GPS measured it at 4.77K. Her time was in the 31-minute range.
