“This morning, I went to the ‘Kakao Save Race’ 10km marathon held in front of Sangam World Cup Park!”

Although the runner left their phone at home, they took part with their husband in the 10km event from Sangam to Gayang Bridge and back. They enjoyed the smooth start, baggage storage, limited bottlenecks, and autumn scenery, and explained that they ran an additional 400m to the finish.

“I took part in the Kakao Run Save Race 2025.”

The runner completed 10km in 58 minutes 45 seconds and achieved their goal of finishing within 1 hour. They felt the uphill section on the way back at Gayang Bridge, and their long sleeves felt hot in the warm weather. The runner enjoyed the event and charity with a friend, but was disappointed that the photo display showed a 10.4km record.

“This was my second 10 km race finish!”

At their second 10km race, the runner ran with the participants they met and enjoyed the autumn foliage path and photo zone. After finishing, they felt that medal and goods collection was fast, but were disappointed that a 10.4km record was displayed instead of the 10km record.

“I worked hard to keep running without walking, even if I had to go slowly, and finally finished!”

The runner took part in their first race with only one 10 km training run under their belt and finished in 1 hour 5 minutes. Running with many other people made the time pass quickly, and they enjoyed the generous post-race supplies and event atmosphere.

“I finally completed my first-ever marathon, the 10K Marathon, on Sunday, November 9, 2025!”

The runner set a personal best in a first 10 km race just three months after starting to run. With the boyfriend's help, the runner controlled the pace at the beginning and ran to the finish line amid the cheers. The runner enjoyed the experience of running on the roadway of Gayang Bridge and the eco-friendly medal.
