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 is cool in the morning and hot during the day.

Bring a light jacket and a hat to take off before departure.

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.
