THE DREAM
The 2026 Run Seoul Run is a marathon starting at Seoul Plaza, featuring half marathon and 10km events, with registration on a first-come, first-served basis.
Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.
Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.
Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.
From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.
“I still regret not bringing power gels in advance.”
The runner dealt with the heat and frequent turnarounds on the Seoul city-center half marathon. The runner was disappointed that there were no electrolyte drinks or snacks at the expected aid stations in the second half, and also encountered congestion where the 10K runners joined the course.

The runner completed their first race, the 2025 Run Seoul Run 10K. The runner considered walking because of their lower-back condition, but started running when there was no pain, and began struggling at 7 km in the hot and humid weather. The runner enjoyed the Seoul city course and race souvenir, and wrote that the baggage check and restroom operations were relatively well organized.

The runner took part in and completed the 2025 Run Seoul Run 10K. The runner arrived early on the first train, used the taping booth, and wrote that the restrooms at the Press Center were relatively uncrowded. Although the runner faded in the latter stages, the runner drew strength from the atmosphere of running through the city alongside other participants.

저는 처음 테이핑을 해봤는데, 이번 대회에서 테이핑 덕을 제대로 봤습니다.
Read the original on 네이버 블로그 · 쿠쿠눈나의 일상기록“We passed through at 10 o’clock, so it was really close, but we never gave up and made it to the finish.”
At the 2025 Run Seoul Run half marathon, the runner ran alongside an acquaintance throughout their first half marathon. They ran together despite the heat and the course becoming quieter after the 10 km runners had left, crossing just before the time limit. The runner wrote that they felt the meaning of companionship and encouragement more strongly than the importance of a personal record.

저희는 10시에 통과해서 정말 아슬아슬했지만 끝까지 포기하지 않고 들어왔어요.
Read the original on 네이버 블로그 · 곰손도 금손되는공간“This marathon was difficult because of the heat, but I still did not give up and ran all the way to the end!”
The runner completed the 2025 Run Seoul Run 10 km. The runner enjoyed the atmosphere with the acquaintance who came along and drew strength from the support of local residents. It was not easy because of the heat, and the water stations felt too far apart, but the runner kept going to the end and recorded the sense of achievement of receiving a medal.

RUN SEOUL RUN is an urban running event held around Seoul Plaza.
Together with the name of the Daily Sports Seoul Marathon, the goal is to restore the balance of body and mind through running.
The official introduction of the half marathon and 10km runs also emphasizes the theme of recovery and support along with competition for records.
The organizers announced that they would donate a portion of Entry fee to social impact companies that carry out mental health and respect for life activities.
It is an event designed to encourage the act of completing a distance alone into an activity of cheering on others.
This reveals a direction in which the meaning of running is not limited to the completion record, but is linked to the balance of life.
Seoul Plaza is the event center where participants gather, and course passes through downtown Seoul.
It is divided into half marathon and 10km, so participants choose different distances.
In addition to races, the official event program includes stretching and events held on stage.
The records for both events are measured as chip time.
Each person starts their race by passing the starting mat, but a set time limit applies to use of city roads.
It is a road race that combines individual completion and city transportation management.
Course Since this is an event subject to change, the specific route will follow the official course announcement for each event.
If you understand it as an event that combines the scene of running through the city with the purpose of recovering the body and mind,
you can read the character beyond the choice of distance.
Not yet confirmed in the official race guide
This may change for the next edition.
Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
Bib and the T-shirt are sent by courier before the race, so no separate on-site collection is required.
Finisher medal and refreshments are provided on-site on race day.

Run Seoul Run takes place in Seoul, well connected by subway.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
When you arrive at Seoul Plaza, it is best to plan your route in the order of the locker room, gear check, and the starting area for your event.
Half marathon and 10km start one after the other, so you should not go straight to start line just because the previous event is moving.
The organizer's gathering instructions require an earlier arrival than departure.
In your travel plan, include time to change clothes and leave your luggage after entering the square.
The record is chip time, but time limit is based on the starting signal.
Just because you step on the starting mat late does not mean that the road closure time will be extended.
If you start from the back, keep in mind the time it takes to reach the mat, and follow the guidance of the staff after control is over.
Wear bib clearly in front of your chest and make sure that the recording measurement chip is not folded or damaged.
Course The possibility of change is stated in the official information.
When deciding on accommodation or a route home, it is a good idea to check the latest course maps and traffic control notices for your sport.
Do not assume that the arrival route for 3 and 10km are the same, and specify on the map where you will meet your companion.
Gear check If you divide up in advance the clothes you want to check in and the things you will carry during the race,
you will be less likely to have to open your bag again right before departure.
Times are local to Seoul. Check the latest official information before the race.
