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.

It's a midsummer competition. Heat and humidity are big variables.

Even if you start early, don't skip the water and avoid being too greedy for recording.

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.
