IC card

Expo Citizen Plaza is not directly at a subway exit, so plan on a short bus ride or taxi for the last stretch from Government Complex or Gapcheon stations. Use a rechargeable regional transit card (T-money compatible) for Daejeon subway and buses; single fare is about 1,400-1,500 KRW.

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.

September mornings are cool, but the sun can feel intense during the day.

Bring a light outer layer to remove before the start, along with a hat.

The distance is short and not especially demanding, but avoid going out too fast in the early pace to ensure a comfortable finish.

Daejeon is famous nationwide for Seongsimdang bakery.

Hanbat Arboretum and Expo Science Park are also worth visiting.

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