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 midday sun is strong.

Bring a light layer to shed before the start, plus a hat.

In an ultra, your fueling plan matters more than pace for finishing.

Plan familiar race foods and work out your target split times back from the time limit in advance.

Suncheon's best-known attractions are Suncheon Bay Wetland, famous for its reed beds,

and Suncheon Bay National Garden, and jjangttungeo-tang (mudskipper soup) is a local specialty.

Long-distance races call for thorough preparation.
